Montana has a diverse economy. Mineral resources are considerable. The State has
large reserves of copper, oil, natural gas and coal (lignite). The other
resources are gold, money, phosphates, zinc and manganese. Agriculture,
essentially practiced in the wide valleys of the Rochosos and by dry-farming on
the steppes of the high plains, refers essentially to the breeding (cattle, pigs
and sheep), cereals (wheat and barley), forage plants and sugar beet. Forestry
is a very important activity.
Industries
The industries rest primarily on the treatment and processing of primarily
agricultural and mineral materials: industries derived from wood, agri-food,
metallurgy (copper, zinc, lead), chemistry and industries derived from oil and
coal. Tourism is very active in Rochosas. The most frequented places are the
Glacier National Park, the historic site of the battle of Little Bighorn (1876),
the remains of the Holy Mary 's Mission (1841) or the Bannack State Monument, a
ghost town. Important ski resorts were created (Big Sky Ski Area, Red
Lodge-Grizzly Peak).
