The piece traces Montana agriculture from 1890 to 1930s, noting sheep and cattle booms, droughts of 1917 to 1919, and the shift to controlled grazing. It highlights hay and alfalfa production, the Big Hole basin grasses, and the impact of federal range preservation, forest grazing, reservoirs, and irrigation on stability and future growth. It also references Charlie Russell and the shift from open-range ranching to managed feed and water resources.
