Among the 38 producers attending the day-long meeting were many farmers from Laramie County. In Laramie County, winter wheat producers top the production rate for Wyoming.

Have you heard the story about the Baptist minister, Catholic priest and Lutheran pastor who go fishing together? I had better prefix this by saying I am a Lutheran. Thereby casting away any notion of an inappropriate story, just a light hearted story. They get hungry and the Baptist minister says, “Oh, the ladies group made us a nice lunch, let me go get it.” He jumps out of the boat, walks across the water to his truck, grabs the lunch bag and returns across the water. A little while lat... Full story

For Pine Bluffs Police Chief Don Taylor, the presence of drugs in the town is not any worse, or any better, than similar towns in Wyoming and the United States. But the presence is there. "We make drug arrests just like any other community," Taylor said. However, the legalization of marijuana in Colorado, which went into effect Jan. 1, could mean an influx of the drug's illegal presence in Wyoming. Taylor said the Pine Bluffs Police Department is aware of the law change, but does not have a...

The weather, for January, isn't really that bad. Sure, it's cold. And the driveway drifts shut every afternoon. But those warm mild days are really nice and make the in-between days brr-able, I mean bearable.

Thank you, Branigans! The Wyoming Wheat Growers Association met at the Albin Community... Full story
Good mooring Banner County! Is there anyone out there that is confused as to what month this is? One day it is January for sure and the next day it may feel like March or April. April is my month of choice — only 75 days — whoo -hoo. Although we are lacking in snow, we sure have had plenty of wind and tumble weeds. Something new that needs to be mentioned is the annual reunion of the Gulick sisters. They had their 35th annual Christmas dinner at Janett and Harold Connour’s in Cheyenne. Those... Full story
For the special this week at the Hereford Community Church, Steve Hauer sang “Be The One.” The sermon topic was “Mega-Faith” and the scripture was Mark 7:1-30. Jesus was confronted by some Pharisees who wanted to know why his disciples didn’t obey all their religious rules. Jesus told them it was more important to obey God’s rules. Then Jesus traveled to the city of Tyre where he was confronted by a Greek woman who begged him to force a demon out of her daughter. Because of her mega-faith... Full story
1 years ago The attitude of some of the Pine Bluffs business men toward The Pine Bluffs Post is withholding advertising patronage from that paper may force the owner of the printing plant to seek a new field.

Should any person or firm desire to purchase the Post plant and business before February 1 they are invited to call at the office with their bank roll. Cash talks in this case. The roads are in such a condition that... Full story
As most of you are probably aware, I’m pretty excited about the opportunities yellow field peas provide for producers here in western Nebraska and around our region. We have been growing yellow field peas successfully on our farm for several years now and I’m convinced the field peas will prove to be a profitable crop for producers in this area. The best opportunities for field peas are in our dry land cropping systems and limited irrigation crop rotations. There are many agronomic benefits to including a legume in our cropping rotations. Add... Full story
"We must develop and maintain the capacity to forgive. He who is devoid of the power to forgive is devoid of the power to love. There is some good in the worst of us and some evil in the best of us. When we discover this, we are less prone to hate our enemies." ~ Martin Luther King, Jr. "If you can't fly then run, if you can't run then walk, if you can't walk then crawl, but whatever you do you have to keep moving forward." ~ Martin Luther King Jr. "Never, never be afraid to do what's right,...
