Ethridge
Ethridge is a tiny farm-and-ranch community in western Toole County, Montana on the prairie east of the Rocky Mountain Front, in dryland-wheat and cattle country. Its economy is built on dryland grain 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 Ethridge area's farming, 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.
