t has been said that a difficulty bears its own solutions because it forces us to
change our thinking. Randy and Lisa Hinebauch have farmed to the west of
Chinook since 1983. In 1986, conventional wheat prices weren't paying the bills,
and the area had seen two drought years. Randy needed a new solution to his
method of farming, but what was it? A piece of land that was recently purchased
provided the answer, but it took the success of the next year's harvest for
Randy to completely conceptualize the way to his farming future.

Hinebauch Grain Inc. is located near
Chinook, Mont. in Blaine County.
The Hinebauch family and many of
their neighbors farm organically.
Together, they raise more organic
wheat than any other county in the
United States.
