Montanans are close to their water. Swift Current folks could tell you how many millimeters. Montanans think in hundredths of an inch ….. And will argue about whether it was 23 or 24 hundredths! Most Montana farmers carry Paul Brown probes in their pickups. This spring in Conrad I needed to buy a manual rain gauge to back up our electronic one. Guy at the Cenex farm store said he took them off the shelves because he didn’t want to depress people.
