Fuel prices soaring in rural Montana, particularly in Winnett, are causing significant financial strain for ranchers and farmers. With high fuel costs, theyre struggling to maintain operations, from plowing fields to hauling hay. Fuel hauler Clay Fowler is also feeling the pinch, as his fuel costs have surged from over twenty-seven thousand dollars in February to nearly thirty-eight thousand dollars in March.
