When Paige Rasmussen needed it the most she came up with the performance of her life for the Montana State Rodeo team on Saturday night at the 2023 College Rodeo National Finals in Casper, Wyoming. Rasmussen posted a 6.0 run in the Championship Go of the goat tying, her best run of the week and just enough for the Bobcat senior to claim her second College Rodeo National Finals Championship, and her first in an individual event. She also claimed all-around honors in 2021. "That performance is the way Paige should go out," said Montana State... Full story

I am a massive supporter of events that bring the community together. In Three Forks, this includes Rodeo Dayz, the Christmas Stroll, and the Farmer’s Market. Many don’t realize these events do not happen without the countless hours of volunteers whose time and effort truly make a difference. In last week’s Three Forks Voice, an article about the local chamber of commerce discussed the organization’s struggles with finding volunteers, and this is a problem that is happening nationwide. It would be awful to see events organized by the chamber... Full story
Earlier this month, I made the seven-hour trip to my hometown in Wyoming. While often the trip was filled with many activities, this time had a much more relaxed feel, and I did not leave my mom’s house often. It was a great time visiting with my mom and not trying to catch up with all of the friends I don’t see often. My mom’s dog, Bella, might have been a bit too aggressive, pestering me as I sat in the recliner, but I enjoyed my visit with her too. One of the best parts of my visits is eating at some of the establishments I grew up with...
From the MSU News Service Montana State University Extension and the Montana Department of Agriculture were recently announced as partners in a $30 million U.S. Department of Agriculture effort to establish a regional center to create opportunities for food producers and increase food security. Co-led by Colorado State University and Oregon State University, the new Northwest and Rocky Mountain Food Business Center is part of a larger effort nationwide, for which the USDA announced $400 million in funding last September. “This funding r...
I love robins as they are symbols of renewal and transformation, and just like spring, they represent new beginnings. And we certainly have our share of robins this year! When I woke up the other morning, I noticed four robins’ nests being built in an area I prefer they didn’t nest. So, I took a broom and swept the area to try and discourage the robins from building their nests. I cleaned up the area, and a short time later, I looked out the window and saw some robins picking up the residue left on our driveway to start rebuilding their nest. I...

Greg Gianforte last week announced signing the state's roughly $14.3 billion primary budget bill, creating a roadmap for funding state government for the next two years and substantially increasing reimbursement rates for health care providers who care for Medicaid patients.

HELENA – New emergency fishing regulations are in place for the Big Hole, Beaverhead and Ruby rivers. The Montana Fish and Wildlife Commission adopted the new regulations during its June 8 meeting. These restrictions limit angling during the brown trout spawning season and harvest in some stretches of the rivers. Trout abundances in several areas of the three rivers have steadily declined since 2011 and are at or near historical lows. Meanwhile, fishing pressure in these areas has increased. The emergency fishing regulations aim to be responsiv...
