Montana Governor Greg Gianforte, joined by Montana’s federal delegation, is pressing the Department of the Interior to overturn a decision that allows the American Prairie (APR) to convert federal grazing permits for cattle into permits for conservation bison in Northcentral Montana.

In a letter to Interior Secretary Doug Burgum, the officials emphasized their support for production agriculture and warned that APR’s efforts would undermine Montana’s rural economy and way of life.

“We’ve been waiting for a long time. We were praying for a change in the administration. We got that and now it’s just a matter of time. The Secretary of Interior can really speed that along, but we thank you very much for the support.”
