number 1 industry is agriculture and we rank #2 in the US with lands in farms
and ranches-which totals nearly 61 million acres! To discover more about
Montana’s agriculture industry each of you will research and create a “county
ag map” for 3 different counties. This
is a chance for you to learn about the different agriculture in Montana as well
as express your creative side!
