For decades, I have expected our borders to be pounded by the influx of all these people who finally saw the light, packed up their belongings, kissed their hometowns good-bye and headed to the Promised Land. Our promised land. A vast majority of my Wyoming friends would exclaim that they are really (I mean, really!) happy that this invasion of newcomers has not happened. As the least populated state in the coun...
Christmas is over and a new year is on the horizon. How did you spend 2012? My year was spent changing my life. As 2012 dawned, I resolved to lose weight — something I have done in the past and failed miserably at. This time was different. I actually did it. As this year comes to a close, I have lost more than 50 pounds. Being the large man that I am, I still have a long way to go. Therefore, I am once again declaring my New Year’s Resolution to be of weight loss. If I can do it in 2012 then I can do it in 2013. What about you? With the boo...

Happy New Year everyone! For the special the last Sunday of the year Kathy Zitek read from “Our Daily Bread” an item written by the owner of Hobby Lobby who wants to establish a museum of the Bible, then she told about the song “Peace In The Valley” and read the verse and sang the refrain. Pastor Opdycke gave a new year’s resolution that will make things better in 2013 — “DO IT.” The sermon title was “Jesus, the Prophet.” Many times in the Bible Jesus was referred to as The Prophet that was to...
Hello out there in Banner County and to our friends and neighbors. We still have snow on the ground and is it ever a welcome sight. Although we could do without these freezing temperatures!

As 2012 winds down I thought a little reflecting back would be a good thing to do. Sometimes it helps to look back on your successes that you were a part of over the past year and take a hard look at your failures to keep you humble and to continue the never ending learning process. Continuing education is important in every business and agriculture is no exception. I feel it is very important to be flexible in your decision making and embrace the changes that are inevitable. Mother Nature...
