Fallon and Carter Counties are the far-most Southeast counties of Montana, bordering North and South Dakota to the East and Wyoming to the South. There are about 3,000 people in Fallon County and about 1,000 people in Carter County. Agriculture is a major part of the local communities, with ranching and dryland farming being the major industries. Oil and gas also contribute to the local economy. Recreational hunting for deer, elk, and antelope brings visitors to the area, including other tourism hobbies like museums and dinosaurs. MSU Extension services are shared between Fallon and Carter Counties. We aim to provide quality information and resources to our clientele on agriculture, 4-H and youth development, family and consumer sciences, and community development.
