Montana is located in the northwest of the United States, with an area of ​​380,000 square kilometers, ranking fourth among all states in the United States, second only to Alaska, Texas and California.

However, Montana has a population of only over one million, ranking seventh from the bottom among the states in the United States, so this state can be said to be vast and sparsely populated.

Montana's agriculture and animal husbandry occupies a pivotal position in the United States, and this is the granary of the United States. The income of agriculture and animal husbandry accounts for 70% of the entire state's income. Therefore, in this state, the most are vast farms and pastures.

The Great Falls City, which Yang Jing was going to, is located in north-central Montana, only 110 kilometers northeast of Helena, the capital of Montana. This city is named after the Great Falls on the Missouri River. It is an agricultural, animal husbandry and mining business and financial center in northern Montana.

Around the Great Falls, there are almost no other scenery except for neat farms and vast pastures. After hundreds of years of development, this place has become a famous farming and pastoral homeland in the United States and even North America.

After Yang Jing's American Airlines flight was safely landed at the Great Falls International Airport west of Grand Falls, Yang Jing pulled a trolley case and walked out of the gate. Then outside, he saw two cowboys standing outside the gate holding a sign with "Albert Yang".

There were not many tourists coming to Grand Falls from San Francisco. Yang Jing, a yellow-skinned and dark-haired Chinese, was mixed with it, and the two cowboys immediately saw it. One of them raised the sign excitedly, and the other waved at Yang Jing.

Yang Jing smiled and went up to meet him. When he got closer, he realized that the two cowboys looked particularly similar, and they should be twin brothers.

"Hey, hello, I'm Albert Yang. Is it Mr. Zhao from San Francisco who asked you to pick me up?"

The cowboy holding the sign put down the sign, happily stretched out his hand and shook it with Yang Jing, and introduced himself: "Hello, Mr. Yang, I am Roy Jones, this is Michael Jones, we are brothers, I am brother, he is younger brother. Bob from San Francisco called us to come and pick us up." Bob is Zhao Meng's English name.

"Thank you for your hard work." Yang Jing said politely, and it can be seen that the two twin brothers have very cheerful personalities.

My younger brother Michael Jones said, "Mr. Yang, let's go, the car is parked outside. It seems that it will snow. We'd better go back quickly, otherwise it will snow later and it will be difficult to walk on the road."

Brother Roy Jones reached out to take the trolley case from Yang Jing's hand and took the lead in walking out.

The brothers' car is a Ford Raptor F150, a pickup truck that is also known as a high-end car in China, and is a work vehicle used by farmers in the United States and even Canada.

The sales of Ford pickup trucks in the United States are very large. The price of this Raptor F150 is not high in the United States. The cheapest one is only more than 20,000 or less than 30,000 US dollars, and the most expensive one is only only 60,000 US dollars.

The sky outside is indeed very gloomy, but it feels like the temperature outside is not low, but the wind is a bit heavy, how could it snow?

It seemed to be seeing Yang Jing's doubts. Brother Roy Jones said while driving: "The weather forecast says that a strong cold air is approaching Montana from Canada. It is late October. Once this strong cold air arrives, it will inevitably snow here. This is almost every year."

Yang Jing nodded. He knew that Montana was the main channel for North American cold air to move south. Generally speaking, Montana was the first state to suffer in the cold air from the Arctic.

After the car left the airport parking lot, it turned south and boarded InterContinental Highway 15. This highway runs across the north and south of the United States, starting from Sweetgrass at the junction of Montana and Canada in the north, and ending in San Diego, the southernmost tip of California, with a total length of more than 2,300 kilometers.

The farm Zhao Meng bought in Montana is in Alm, a small town next to InterContinental Highway 15. It is only twelve kilometers away from the airport. It is at the speed of Ford Raptors, and it takes more than ten minutes.

However, Zhao Meng's farm is not in the town. He also needs to cross the Missouri River from Alm to reach the south bank of the river, and then run about seven kilometers along the country road to finally reach the farm.

Along the way, the road is surrounded by neat farms and pastures with cattle, sheep and other livestock. In the distance, there are the majestic Rockies. The North American backbone is less than 100 kilometers away from the Great Falls. On the road, you can clearly see the mountain range, and even the snow-capped mountains in the mountains.

The scenery here has a rich rural pastoral style, not as rough as Texas, nor as barren as Siberia. Although it is vast and sparsely populated, it is full of vitality.

"This is the largest town within a radius of ten kilometers, and it is also our hometown." My younger brother Michael Jones pointed to the town of Alm and said, "This town has only a few hundred people, mostly nearby farmers and herdsmen. They run their own farms and ranches here, or work for farmers and ranches."

Yang Jing asked, "Do you two have their own ranch or farm?"

"My brother and I don't have their own farms or ranches for the time being. The subprime mortgage crisis ten years ago caused our father to lose a lot of money in investment. My father originally sold the ranch in our family. Now my brother and I make money by helping others manage the farms or ranches. Bob is one of our employers."

Roy Jones, who was driving, turned the steering wheel and the car passed through a bridge across the river. Then he said, "Bob is a good man. At that time, Julio's wife was seriously ill. Julio needed money and was about to sell the farm. But those vampires wanted to lower the price. At this time, Bob took action. He bought Julio's farm at the market price, so that Julio had enough money to treat his wife."

My younger brother Michael Jones took over the conversation and continued, "Bob said that he bought this farm to have a vacation place, but he was not good at operating the farm, so my brother and I volunteered to help Bob, and Bob also offered us a very good salary. Although Bob had never been to the farm in the past two years, our salary has never been less. In return, my brother, Oscar and Elvin managed Bob's farm very well."

The car drove steadily on the flat country road. The winding Missouri River to the north of the highway is the winding Missouri River. On both sides of the river bank, Yang Jing could clearly see many regular farmlands. In the hilly areas far away from the river, most of them are pastures.

Obviously, farms close to rivers should all belong to those better farms. After all, water resources are also an intangible asset. Whether in the United States or China, farmland close to rivers is all high-quality farmland.

The car walked along the country road for about ten minutes, and two houses, one large and one small, and several tall granary storage silos appeared in front of me.

"This is Bob's farm, which is surrounded by rivers on both sides, and is a very good farm," said Roy Jones.

The Missouri River turns several consecutive hairpin bends here, and these two houses are located at the bottom of one of the hairpin bends, close to the river bank.

The car parked steadily in front of the big house. Yang Jing got out of the car and found that the place was cleaned very clean, and it was not like the kind of temporary attack. It can be seen that the Jones brothers really took good care of the place.

The big house in front of me is a two-story wooden house. Its appearance is no different from the American houses that often appear in American movies. It is just that the area is larger. Yang Jing estimated that the house covers an area of ​​400 square meters.

"This house was originally lived by Julio and his children. After Bob bought the farm, there was almost no one living here. But don't worry, Michael and I cleaned twice a week, and the quality of the house is fine." Roy Jones introduced and pointed to the smaller house next to him and said, "It's a farm machinery warehouse, and all the agricultural machinery is stored in that room. There is also a maintenance room for repairing the agricultural machinery equipment. There is also a smaller house behind the house, blocking it, and you can't see it now. It's a utility room, and some debris will be placed there."

Yang Jing nodded with satisfaction. The main house in front of him looks a bit old, but it is not in decline. At least from the outside, the house is quite good.

The whole house is white and looks very clean. The agricultural machinery warehouse next to it is red, which is very conspicuous against the background of a green farmland.

Roy Jones took out a bunch of keys from his pocket and took the lead in walking forward, while Michael Jones followed Yang Jing to the door with Yang Jing.

Opening the door with the key, Roy Jones smiled and said, "Welcome to Bob's farm to visit. Mr. Yang, you will be the owner of this farm for the next period of time."

Michael Jones put the trolley box aside and said with a smile: "We received a call from Bob yesterday and knew you were coming to live for a while, so my brother and I bought some food and vegetables in Grand Falls this morning. The flour and rice were all in the storage room there, and the vegetables and meat were kept in the refrigerator, hoping you could use it."
