Montana Farmer & Rancher Heritage Project

Chuck manages the day to day work of the Storey Hereford Ranch, which has been passed down on his wife's side of the family since the early 1900s. He finds that even though the expansion and development of the area around Bozeman brings some stresses, he enjoys ranching and its benefits. As he told me after the recorder was shut off, "I'm not selling out; someday this is going to be the Central Park of Bozeman." 20 minutes.

She bakes perfect pies, graciously cooks a big meal for all of the ranch hands every day, visits folks in the nursing home weekly, and tells incredible stories about life, work, and love on the ranch. 31 minutes.

Bob and Kathy Lee have won numerous awards for environmental stewardship and ranch management. They believe in following one's dreams and working hard, and have developed a motivational presentation called "Ten Dimes to Make A Dollar" to help young agriculturalists be responsible managers. Above all, Bob loves what he does and considers it a privilege to care for our greatest renewable resource: grazing land and farmland. 32 minutes.
