The Rudie farm, located near Fairview, Montana, celebrated its centennial in 2006.  In this painting, Sigurd Jr. was helping his dad store the hay in the barn, and that shiny truck is much prized and still in use.  The Rudie brothers brought their agricultural traditions from Norway, filed seven homesteads at first, and added even more as other brothers and Sigurd Jr.’s grandmother sailed to the United States and became citizens. The prosperous and well-kept farm raises wheat, malt barley, oats, angus cattle and sheep and produces oil.
