This picture comes from just outside Livingston, Montana. Montana is home to great farmland, but since the precipitation levels are not as high as in the Midwest, the majority of farmland is pasture. Cattle farms in Montana are very popular as the cattle and calf to human ratio is 2.6:1. The majority of planted acres each year are allocated to wheat and barley due to the limited amount of precipitation.
