AGP Executive Report

Last update: 10 hours ago

U.S. Politics & National Security: The Pentagon released a fifth batch of declassified UFO/UAP files—41 documents, images and videos—spanning 1950 to 2026, following a Trump directive to open records. Montana Economy & Labor: Montana is second in the nation for hourly wage growth, with hourly pay rising 4.7% from 2024 to 2025, a boost that could matter for affordability and hiring. Agriculture & Markets: Cattle and beef markets corrected in July, with feeder and fed cattle pressured by USDA’s move to open the Mexican border and by worsening pasture conditions tied to extreme summer heat—especially in parts of the Great Plains including Montana. Energy & Land Use: Two federal lawsuits challenge a BLM policy revoking American Prairie’s bison grazing permits in Montana, arguing the agency is changing settled rules under the Taylor Grazing Act. Health Care & Business: NOCD says it will expand its virtual intensive outpatient OCD program nationwide, aiming to reduce long waits for specialty treatment. Community & Local Business: Sun River Electric’s annual golf tournament raised $4,500 for Valier’s pickleball court project, while MontanaFair opened early in Billings for Eagle Mount participants in a low-stimulation setting. Environment & Outdoor Economy: Fishing restrictions are spreading across the West as record heat warms rivers; Montana anglers face tighter rules as drought lowers flows and raises water temperatures.
