He stars on the hit series Yellowstone, which is filmed in Montana – and, happily, returns to screens in November to finish up season five.
Kevin Costner will not be in the cast, but Cole Hauser, Kelly Reilly and Wes Bentley – and many others – will.
Now Luke Grimes has starred in a short movie about what Montana is really like.
On Tuesday, DailyMail.com got a first look at the seven minute clip Made In Montana where Grimes highlights the farmers and hard-working people who have been on the land for decades; they also make a $350,000 donation to The Nature Conservancy.
Luke supports the local man in a time when billionaires are snapping up acre after acre for their own fun.
‘It’s easy to just mindlessly go through your day, not thinking about the work that goes into putting food on your plate, but when you live in a place like this, it’s in your face all the time, you see the people out there doing it,’ said Grimes in a quote shared with DailyMail.com.
‘Without those people and their hard work, the rest of us wouldn’t be able to eat.’

The mini movie was made with Carhartt, America’s premium workwear brand.
‘Farmers and ranchers have always been the backbone of America, providing the nation with essential food and natural resources, a press release shared with DailyMail.com said.
‘Bound by a shared love and appreciation for the hardworking people in the agriculture industry, Carhartt, America’s premium workwear brand, and Luke Grimes, Montana-resident and prominent actor and country music artist, are working together to celebrate and support the generational men and women in rural communities as an extension of Carhartt’s History in the Making campaign.’
Made in Montana spotlights hardworking Montana landowners who are ‘actively keeping the spirit of the American West alive.’
Narrated by Grimes, the video honors the unsung heroes who keep the land thriving and fertile with food, and preserved for future generations.
Captured in the small-town community of Bitterroot Valley, Montana, the creative showcases the value of the skilled trades, the farm and ranch community and local families who are building legacies through hard work – qualities that attracted Grimes and his family to reside in the area and continue to inspire his career as an actor and musician.

Featured within the short film, local community members emphasize the importance of land conservation within the Bitterroot Valley and how it impacts their daily lives as farmers and ranchers.
With the support of Montana nonprofit organization, Bitter Root Land Trust (BRLT), private landowners and community benefit from dedicated conservation tools to help achieve their land preservation and stewardship goals.
By partnering with willing landowners to voluntarily place conservation easements on their properties, BRLT helps to protect working farms and ranches, wildlife habitat, and water resources that include clean drinking water for future generations.
Alongside the ‘Made in Montana’ creative, Carhartt’s Montana series – a line inspired by the hardworking people of the American West – has introduced new gear featuring the latest innovations that capture the spirit of Western style and deliver on Carhartt’s iconic durability and functionality.
Made within Carhartt’s global supply chain, new pieces include jackets, outerwear, t-shirts and mid-layers to expand the Montana series’ offerings for every working condition.
To further support the exemplary roll-up-your-sleeves attitude shown by American ranchers, Carhartt is contributing $350,000 to The Nature Conservancy (TNC), a global environmental nonprofit organization, to support land preservation efforts.
‘It’s easy to just mindlessly go through your day, not thinking about the work that goes into putting food on your plate, but when you live in a place like this, it’s in your face all the time, you see the people out there doing it,’ said Grimes in a quote shared with DailyMail.com

In Montana, TNC conserves working lands to support present and future generations of ranching families by focusing on benefits to natural systems and local communities.
Through its grass-banking program – an innovative community partnership that provides ranchers with grasslands to graze their cattle in exchange for conservation action on their own properties – TNC has had positive conservation impact on 300,000 acres in Montana’s Northern Great Plains.
‘Carhartt is excited about our continued partnership with The Nature Conservancy to support their efforts on the ground in Montana and our home state of Michigan,’ said Susan Hennike, chief brand officer at Carhartt.
‘Their locally implemented preservation solutions will only strengthen the legacies of the hardworking generational farmers and ranchers who live and rely upon the land.’
