Ron Garwood was born on a cold winter night, or so his mother told him. He was raised on a farm south Nashua, Montana, near the confluence of the Milk and Missouri Rivers in rural Valley County. The farm started with a homestead in 1920 and the next year his grandparents migrated from Ohio and placed roots in northeastern Montana. The farm was added onto many times over the years, and the operation was continued by his own parents and still remains an active family operation. Along with his own farmland which he has acquired over the years, Ron is active in local conservation groups. Besides a love of farming and ranching, he has an interest in wildlife, being an outdoorsman and exploring the countryside right out his back door. He has an interest in the history of the area and the characters that have called this area of rural northeastern Montana home.
