The Covid-19
Pandemic
Affects Montana
Agriculture
e Covid-19 pandemic triggered a breakdown in this
country's food supply chain. Food disappeared off the
grocery shelves that weren't restocked for weeks. At the
other end of the supply chain, ingredient processers
canceled orders and, in many cases, le producers
holding commodities that would have normally moved
off the farm and ranch without a hiccup. is food chain
crisis has made an impression on those involved in Montana
agriculture. Agricultural leaders shared their experiences
in October aer the Covid-19 seemed to sele down during
the summer and before it began to surge again in late fall.
