Climate change presenting new challenges to farmers

Farming is a tough and unpredictable business. It requires hard manual labor and quick responses to complicated problems.      Climate change holds the potential of adding a whole new level of complexity - and uncertainty - to Montana's top industry.

All week long we've taken a look at climate change and its impacts on Montana.
        In our final feature story tonight, Edward O'Brien speaks with a few of the people who will be directly dealing with the consequences if - perhaps when - we see significant alterations in our long-term climate patterns. 

Edward O’Brien first landed at Montana Public Radio three decades ago as a news intern while attending the UM School of Journalism. He covers a wide range of stories from around the state.
