This National Ag Week, we’re proud to share the stories of employees whose agricultural roots run deep, whose families still work the land, and whose firsthand understanding strengthens the relationships they build with customers across the state. Here are their stories — stories of grit, stewardship, and deep rooted pride.

For as long as he can remember, agriculture has been the thread running through every part of our Great Falls Market President Matt McKamey’s life — shaping his values, his work ethic, and the way he shows up for his community. Growing up on a diversified livestock operation south of Great Falls, Matt spent his childhood working alongside his family with cattle and sheep, building the foundation of resilience, stewardship, and responsibility that still guide him today. That same family operation continues into its fourth generation, and Matt remains actively involved whenever he can.
