Montana Rep. Denny Rehberg Secures $3 Million in Funding for Appropriate Technology Transfer to Rural Areas (ATTRA) in Butte

Montana’s Congressman, Denny Rehberg, secured $3 million in funding for Appropriate Technology Transfer to Rural Areas (ATTRA) in Butte through the 2007 Agriculture Appropriations Bill. The funds come as part of $8.1 million in total agriculture-related projects Rehberg secured for Montana.

“The goal of ATTRA is to help farmers increase their profits and provide rural communities with access to technology,” said Rehberg, a member of the House Appropriations Committee. “Funding for this program has consistently been on the chopping block over the past several years, but we were able to make the case this is indeed a worthwhile program. Continued ATTRA funding is good news for Montana’s farmers.”
