Montana Ag Live The Future of the MSU College of Agriculture
Local, USA: The Blackfeet Flood Fifty years after a devastating flood that left him an orphan, a Blackfeet man returns to his reservation to face the ghosts of his past. In 1964, Swift Dam broke and swept through Montana’s Blackfeet Reservation - uprooting homes, killing 31 people, and signaling the end of a way of life for many traditional families. Fifty years after the worst natural disaster in the state’s history, a Blackfeet man named Butch returns home to confront the tragedy that left him an orphan at 14, and to try to remember “what it means to be Blackfeet.” Thursday, 1/2 at 7pm, Sunday, 1/5 at 10am, Monday, 1/6 at 2am Wild by Law and Nature: Montana’s Wilderness Study Areas The Montana Wilderness Study Act of 1977 established 9 federally protected Wilderness Study Areas in Montana to be evaluated for potential permanent wilderness designation and inclusion in the National Wilderness Preservation
System. Forty years later, the fate of these federally protected areas remains in political limbo as wilderness and multi-use advocates spar over the management, use and future of nearly 663,000 acres of public lands. This film deep dives into the history of Wilderness Study Areas and explores the lively debate surrounding the wild and highly protected lands.

Veterans Coming Home: Finding What Works Montana has one of the highest per capita veteran populations in the nation. About one in ten of our citizens served. And these days, many of those folks are struggling to transition from life as a soldier to life as a civilian. Fortunately, our state is also home to some unique and innovative programs—involving everything from our courts, to fly fishing, and extreme sports—that are changing and even saving the lives of veterans and their families. Airs Sunday, 1/26 at 10am
Blooming Bozeman Generally, Montana’s population is increasing, but some communities are experiencing exponential growth, bringing both opportunities and challenges. In one Montana community, Bozeman and the surrounding area, part of the growth is due to increased enrollment at Montana State University. We visit with city officials, community leaders, and University representatives, to look at the planning, as well as the available programs and activities that help promote a sense of community and guide the trajectory of growth. Airs Sunday, 1/26 at 10:30am
Sreekala Bajwa, MSU’s new Vice President and Dean and Director of the Montana State University College of Agriculture helps us take a look at the future direction of the College and the Agriculture Experiment Station. Airs Sunday, 1/5 at 11am
Apples & Cherries, Sure, But Pears, Grapes & Apricots? Did you know there are cold-hardy cultivars available for many fruits and berries? Plums, pears, apricots, grapes, currents and many other are possible. Zach Miller, Superintendent of the MSU Western Agricultural Research Center in Corvallis, will bring viewers information on cold-hardy fruit varieties for Montana. Airs Sunday, 1/12 at 11am
Keeping Weeds in Check with Biologic Controls Noxious weeds, especially invasive species, reduce ag production, increase soil erosion, and decrease wildlife habitat and recreational opportunities. Melissa Maggio-Kassner, the State Biocontrol Coordinator for Montana’s Department of Agriculture, joins the panel to update us about the role of bio control in Montana’s fight against noxious weeds.

Fighting Her Wars The Rundown with Jackie Coffin THURSDAY, JANUARY 16 7PM Also 1/19 10am, 1/20 2am
In this episode of The Rundown, Jackie travels around the state to collect the stories of female veterans and service members. On fishing boats on the Yellowstone River, a group of veterans re-unites 15 years after two tours in Iraq to find healing and joy in fly-fishing. In Billings, a nonagenarian nurse awaits recognition for her service in WWII. Coming home to civilian life can be a struggle for every service member, but women face unique struggles. Step inside the VA to hear from counselors on how female veterans respond to stress and PTSD, and learn what cracks in the system may prevent them from getting the care they need. Women are the fastest-growing segment of the military population, with more than 2 million serving after 9/11, but often feel their service is not recognized or valued as highly.
regarded mostly as a cover crop, in the last few years however, that’s changing. Peas are part of a group of plants known as pulse crops, and Montana is now the leading pulse producer in the country. Montana pulse crops, including peas, lentils, and chickpeas (garbanzo beans), become meat protein substitutes, niche boutique foods, gluten-free products, and are exported around the world.

Medicaid Expansion: Insured or in Doubt? It’s ideology versus insurance in the Montana Legislature this spring as legislators decide how to continue health care coverage for nearly 100,000 Montanans. Nearing the end of its two-year trial-run in Montana, and the clock winds down on the 90-day legislative session and the sunset built into the original Medicaid expansion looms closer, healthcare providers in the state’s largest and smallest hospitals keep apprehensive eyes on the legislature, afraid that expansion won’t be renewed, and millions of dollars of new revenue and thousands of new patients will be lost. Airs Thursday, 1/30 at 7pm
Medicaid, Mental Health and Montana’s Health Emergency The future of federally-funded healthcare coverage is being called into question on a national level. With presidential budget cuts and pending court cases challenging the Affordable Care Act, federally-funded healthcare coverage could shrink or disappear for some Americans, including thousands in Montana. Montana faces other growing health emergencies including opioid addiction and mental health treatment. Airs Thursday, 1/30 at 7:26pm
