100 years ago, Jon Tester’s grandparents were homesteaders. They settled on the outskirts of Big Sandy, on the farm where Jon and his wife raised their own children. Now, he's the only working farmer in the U.S. Senate.
Jon grew up working the land. He lost three fingers in a work accident, but it didn’t keep him from continuing his family’s tradition of hard work, independence, and service to our community.
