Mattson Farms is a large-scale, no-till, dryland, cereal grains farming operation. We are located north of Chester, Montana, situated between the Sweet Grass Hills and Tiber Dam Recreation Area. Since 1911, our farm has been 100% family owned and operated.
About the Mattsons
Our vision is to remain a family farm of sufficient size and scope for intergenerational transfer, and to provide a comfortable living and working atmosphere for owners and employees.
Many years ago, Mattson Farms adopted the philosophy “Manage only what you can control”. Farmers have long known that they can NOT control the weather, no matter how hard they pray. However, we can control how the weather affects us, and how to get the most out of what Mother Nature brings our way.

The crops currently grown are winter wheat, spring wheat, durum, barley, flax, lentils, and chickpeas. All of the wheat is exported to the west coast to buyers in Japan, Philippines, and Taiwan. The wheat grown in our geographical area is known for its high quality – which includes protein content and baking qualities – whether it is used for breads, noodles, or cookies. The pulse crops, which include lentils, chickpeas, and flax, are sold locally to a company that markets those products all around the world. The barley is grown for use in the brewing of distilled alcohol.
