Pleased, and surprised, to see the following, which does not follow the "MSU narrative," although sadly, I suspect the study authors got the schools mixed up and the Missoulian did not catch the apparent error, although the study does say "University of Montana" and Forestry and Biology Dept have been doing some outstanding research and publications which would likely qualify as "agriculture."
"The University of Montana’s science studies ranked internationally and best in the state in National Taiwan University's 2014 Performance Ranking of Scientific Papers for World Universities.
"UM made the list in the field of agriculture and the subjects of environment/ecology, geosciences and plant/animal science. In each case, UM ranked the best in the state. No other Montana university made the list in any other category.
"In the category of environment/ecology as a subject of study, the report lists UM as 71st in the world and 35th in the United States. UM’s geosciences ranked 199th in the world and 69th nationwide. The plant/animal science subject of study at UM made the list at 229th in the world and 61st in the U.S. UM’s agriculture as a field of study ranked 133rd in the world and 50th in the nation.
"NTU evaluates and ranks the scientific paper performance of the top 500 universities worldwide. Three criteria represented by eight indicators were used to access a university’s overall scientific paper performance: research productivity (accounting for 25 percent of the score), research impact (35 percent) and research excellence (40 percent)."

Thinking of high academic achieving Griz athletes, school IS important to them. UM needs to do more to promote that reputation.
