Montana has the second highest leadership demand in the country. Montana State University research indicates that 1 in every 22 adults in the state need to hold a leadership position just to maintain current social, economic, and organizational values. How have leaders in the Farm Bureau made a difference in the vitality of their rural communities over the past 100 years?
Following a severe drought and a crash in market prices that followed World War I, the new agricultural industry that had a prosperous start was already falling apart. It was during this time that Montana's county Farm Bureaus came together during their first state convention and made a commitment to come together and provide their communities with their best and boldest efforts.
This video adaptation of the book LEGACIES, as featured on RFD-TV, shares stories of innovative leaders and the core values that shaped early Montana agricultural history. The video series was written by Laura C. Nelson and produced by Riley Slivka, AgriStudios.
