The Summer of ’26 has brought no shortage of news, headlines, and miles on the road!

In this episode of Next Year Country, Montana Governor Greg Gianforte joins us in studio for a wide ranging conversation on some of the biggest issues facing Montanans. We discuss grizzly bear management, APR grazing allotment rulings, his 56-county tour, and what could be on the table heading into the 2027 legislative session.

We’ll also break down some of the latest headlines impacting the cattle industry, including the USDA’s new Ranchers First Initiative and the RANCH Act.

And, of course, no fall episode would be complete without a little football. With the NFL season less than a week away, the broadcasters bring plenty of hot takes, early Super Bowl predictions, sleeper teams, and more as they dive into their second love behind agriculture, Carrie Underwood's Sunday Night Football. 

From Montana politics to cattle markets and football predictions, it’s all covered this week on Next Year Country!
