 testing and sedimentation tests for the grain industry, in-order- 

 to determine market value and settlement price between producer

 of grain resulted in accurate weights.

 eradication of barberry bushes program was implemented in cooperation 

 with USDA officials, which resulted in an estimated savings to 

 Montana farmers and ranchers of $250,000,00.
