In recognition of the Year of the Woman Farmer, Montana Farmers Union Small Family Farms podcast continues highlighting women shaping Montana agriculture.

In this episode, we visit with Megan Bausch, a fourth-generation Montana farmer who works alongside her dad on the family operation. Megan shares the dynamics of that partnership, along with how the farm has grown Bausch Potato Inc.'s direct-to-consumer sales and value-added agriculture side of the business.

Looking to connect with other women in agriculture, Megan attended a Montana Farmers Union Women’s Conference and soon became a member. Just two years later, that connection has opened the door to new relationships, experiences and resources, including assistance with haying equipment that helped expand another area of the farm.

It’s a story of family, connection and finding new opportunities to grow.

A phone call. A fake FBI agent. A Bitcoin ATM. And more than $42,000 gone.

In this episode of Fraud Files, we examine how a 21-year-old Montana woman lost more than $42,000 after scammers posing as federal and local law enforcement convinced her she was connected to a serious criminal investigation.

Using personal information to make the threat believable, the scammers created fear and urgency, isolated her from friends and family, and convinced her to empty her bank and investment accounts and convert the money to Bitcoin.

The episode breaks down the warning signs, how scammers use fear and authority to manipulate victims, why cryptocurrency can make stolen money difficult to recover, and resources available to Montanans who fall victim to securities fraud.
