Putting Biocontrol to Work in Your Integrated Weed Management Plan

For Ellen Mering, owning land was always a dream. Today, she's making that dream a reality as a first-generation farmer and market gardener at Lily Bend Farm near Kalispell, Montana.

As we celebrate the Year of the International Woman Farmer, Ellen talks with Northern Ag Network's Colton Young, to provide an encouraging perspective on the growing opportunities for women to build their own agricultural legacies.  Ellen shares the determination it took to purchase her five-acre farm, how she found her niche in the local market, and the lessons learned while wearing the many hats of a producer and business owner.

She also highlights the importance of community, from connecting with fellow growers to the opportunities she's found through Montana Farmers Union and National Farmers Union's Beginning Farmer Institute.

Montana Family Farms Podcast:  Dreams, Dirt & Determination

Ellen Mering Lily Bend Farm Podcast EDITED with INTRO

What looked like a promising investment opportunity turned into a nearly $1 million loss.  

In this episode, host Adrienna Hines sits down with Commissioner James Brown and criminal detective James Gunderson to break down the case of “R.P.,” a Montana man who was targeted by a sophisticated “pig butchering” scheme.

The scammers posed as representatives of a well-known investment firm, built R.P.’s trust and directed him to send money through wire transfers, Cash App and cryptocurrency. Fake investment websites showed his account growing to more than $3 million, but when he tried to withdraw his money, the story changed. His account was supposedly frozen, and the scammers demanded even more money to release it.

By the time it was over, R.P. had lost nearly $1 million, with hundreds of thousands of dollars moving through the account of another scam victim being used as a money mule.

Commissioner Brown and Detective Gunderson walk through how these schemes work, the warning signs that can reveal an investment scam, and what investigators are doing to help protect victims.

The lesson in this episode is clear: Stop. Drop. Report. If something doesn't feel right, stop what you're doing, drop communication and report it to authorities.
