Our ranch north of Chinook consists of cow/calf pairs and yearlings. We also do some farming and irrigation primarily for feed. My wife, Jennifer, and I have been in the operation since 2013. Prior to that I worked the ranch alongside my grandfather.

I think government regulations and export markets are going to be ongoing challenges. I think at our state level, water, pasture availability and legislative control are going to be major challenges with the way our state has and is changing.
