As the Senate crafts the Farm Bill, it is important to ensure that Montana's tribal ag producers and their voices are heard.

There couldn't be a better answer. You just gave it. Completely solve, it is huge, this is clearly something we can address legislatively.

How important is it to finalize this last remaining water settlement in the State of Montana and have a bill that could be implemented at the State, Federal, and local level?

It fully funds the rehabilitation of the Milk River Project which is the lifeblood for our farmers and ranchers.

This bill is a result of a lot of compromise, a century or more of work.

The Fort Belknap Water Rights Settlement Act is truly a win.

The bill before us is a compromise for the State, the tribe, the Federal Government, dozens of local areas and groups.

I am proud to say today for the first time ever we have the support of Montana's entire congressional delegation.

It fully settles costly water rights litigation.

Today is historic, it really is.

It is a really important point, because as anybody who has dealt with water out west knows, in terms of the data, that right determines priority.
