GROWING MONTANA'S FUTURE:

THE VOICE OF GRAIN

The Montana Grain Growers Association champions Montana’s wheat and barley producers through advocacy, education, and policy leadership—strengthening profitability, influencing critical ag decisions, and supporting the economic foundation that drives communities across our state.

MONTANA GRIT, NATIONAL STAGE:

A STANDOUT WHEAT PRODUCER

Montana-grown wheat and barley continue to earn national recognition—and right here at home, a Ryegate father-son duo is leading the way. At just 18, Wyatt Ramage of Ramage Farms, achieved the top wheat yield in Montana and ranked 5th nationally, showcasing the innovation and excellence driving our local ag community. Thanks to the Northern Ag Network, with flagship station KGHL for airing this original story.
