I wish Montana could see the "forest" (for the trees), and simply start.....talk about change being hard!! We hope to contribute to that change though but getting the wheels turning is a very slow process. Starting with "Wind" for now but will be adding much more in the very near future and hopefully giving our farmers and Ag communities a badly needed shot in the arm. Pleasant weekend to all.
