RAPELJE, Mont. – Looking out across the rolling grasslands between the small Montana towns of Rapelje and Big Timber, it is easy to see why it is cow county. For as far as the eye can see, contented cattle graze, but that is not the only reason the county is good for livestock. Although the majority of farming in the area is done on a dryland basis, the fertile topsoil of the region is great for producing certain crops, specifically hay.
