HELMVILLE â Ranching and farming are huge commodities of Montana's economy, and with the dry conditions in the state persisting many ranchers are left facing drought for their cattle and crops.
With more than 3,000 acres of ranching land, Helmville rancher Dan Pocha says it's in his blood.
âRanching is a great way to raise a family, a lot of hard work but, a great place to raise kids, and continue the generations, on and on,â said Pocha, a third-generation rancher who has been struggling with finding enough water for 900 head of cattle.
