Crane
Crane is a tiny farm-and-ranch community in Richland County, Montana in the Yellowstone River valley between Sidney and Savage, a sugar-beet and irrigated-agriculture area in the MonDak region. Its economy is built on sugar-beet and irrigated farming, cattle ranching, and the handful of businesses serving the surrounding operations. Media & Technology Group builds bespoke business platforms (custom software, AI automation, managed IT, and marketing) for the Crane area's agriculture, ranching, and service businesses, and we serve them remote-first from York County, Pennsylvania. Distance is no barrier, and we add on-site time when a project warrants the trip.
