Last week, Katie Friede's NRSM260 Rangeland Management students had the privilege of attending the FBA ranch stop on the 2026 Montana Angus Tour.

Students saw firsthand how a successful producer blends rangeland health with animal performance - and how thoughtful trait selection is really about matching cattle to the environment they graze. They connected classroom concepts with real management decisions like grazing distribution, forage use, and water placement, and saw how those choices support both healthy rangelands and productive cattle.

Thank you to the FBA ranch & the Montana Angus Association for investing in the next generation of Montana's rangeland and livestock professionals!

A few weeks ago, students in Assistant Professor Katie Friede's NRSM 260 Rangeland Management class spent the afternoon at the Northern Ag Research Center building foundational plant ID skills.

Students identified key Montana grasses and dug into root systems to compare bunchgrass crowns and rhizomatous growth structures. Hands-on fieldwork like this helps students understand how plant morphology connects directly to rangeland health and management across the Northern Great Plains.

A big thank‑you to Montana State University Northern Agricultural Research Center for hosting our class and providing this hands-on learning opportunity!

One last taste of summer before classes start!

Come see the MSU-Northern PAS Club in the courtyard for the Aurora Borealis Festival and cool down with an Otter Pop.

We’ll be here until 7 PM—stop by, say hello, grab a frozen treat, and enjoy the last bit of summer before the school year begins!

🌎🚧 Earth Day looked a little different for PAS Club this year…

Okay, technically we got a head start — we cleaned up on April 15th… but we figured Earth Day was the perfect time to finally show it off

Instead of just talking about taking care of the land, we actually went out and picked it up.

Huge shoutout to the Montana Department of Transportation for letting us trade in our backpacks for trash bags for the afternoon.

We didn’t find any treasure… unless you count the very interesting things people leave on the side of the highway 👀

Just our small way of giving back to a community (and sponsors!) that always supports us — and helping keep Montana looking as good as it should!

(the good kind)

Students in AGBE 105: Agricultural Marketing, taught by Assistant Professor Katie Friede, recently had the opportunity to dive into the grain futures market with guest speaker Shandel Fouts from Columbia Grain.

Shandel walked the class through how futures markets work, different contract types, and key strategies for marketing grain. During the visit, students were able to watch live bids taking place and witness grain prices react in real time when a global headline hit the market earlier that morning. It was an eye-opening example of how quickly futures markets respond to world events.

AGBE 105 covers the principles of agricultural economics and marketing, with an emphasis on commodity trading and futures markets relevant to Montana production in agriculture. Experiences like this help students connect classroom concepts to real-world decision making.

A big thank you to Shandel and Columbia Grain for the important work they do supporting our farmers and for investing the time in teaching the next generation of agricultural professionals. We truly appreciate partners who help bring applied learning into the classroom!
