🎙️ **New Episode of Built in the WEST: The Podcast**
We had the honor of sitting down with **Ashley Milsop**, Client Service Coordinator with **REO Montana — Rural Employment Opportunities**.
This episode is packed with information that many Montana families, farm and ranch workers, students, and rural communities may not even know is available.
REO Montana helps eligible people connected to agriculture access support for things like:
✅ CDL training
✅ Welding supplies and tools
✅ Work boots and job clothing
✅ Scrubs and healthcare training needs
✅ Tuition assistance
✅ Textbooks and certifications
✅ Career training and employment support
✅ Resources to help people move toward better jobs and long-term stability
Ashley shared how REO Montana works to remove barriers between hard-working people and good employment, better pay, and more consistent opportunities — especially in farm, ranch, and rural communities where work can be seasonal and challenging.
What we loved most about this conversation is that REO Montana is not just about jobs. It is about helping people build a future, helping families stay strong, helping rural communities grow, and giving Montanans another resource when they are ready to take the next step.
If you work in agriculture, come from a farm or ranch background, have a family member connected to ag work, or know someone who needs help with training, tools, education, or career support, this episode is worth listening to.
A huge thank you to **Ashley Milsop** for joining Kelly Bonnell on **Built in the WEST: The Podcast** and for sharing the heart behind REO Montana.
