Everyone knows the love that Lloyd and Dema Gilbert have for the old west and wagons. They have been part of the Pine Bluffs Trail Days parade for many years.

They did not know they were going to be part of the show. Everyone is invited to watch Lloyd and Dema with their grandson Brad Haug and Jennifer Reinninger, daughter of Keith and Betty Hickman, in an adventure they will not forget as they...
It’s easy appreciating the energy conversion efforts by Texan T. Boone Pickens. His campaign to increase the use of natural gas powered vehicles is having some big effects across America and in Wyoming, too. Another champion of natural gas-powered vehicles has been Gov. Matt Mead who recently had his new state-authorized GMC Denali converted to run on compressed natural gas. A good example. A lot of state vehicles are making that switch, too. So why would Wyoming be logical place to use more n...

If my oldest was given a fish for dinner, you can bet fish patties would not be on the plate. But tuna or salmon patties are healthy, inexpensive, quick and simple to make. All that said, this recipe will not find its way to my future daughter-in-law’s kitchen. The cheapest kind of fish are the ones you catch, and not as they are thrown at you at the fish market. Not that we have one of those nearby. Even though our tundra is still frozen, ice fishing is just as productive and entertaining as i...

With the warmer weather this weekend my yard has been pretty muddy, something we haven’t had for quite a while.

The past few days it has been so nice they have been having a great time out in my front yard, tearing up the g...

President Wilson’s first act was to serve notice on office seekers that they will not be welcome at the White House unless they h...
Over the past few articles I’ve written about how we developed a no-till cropping system for our farm. After a few years of using no till on our dry land acres, we adopted our irrigated acres to no-till production practices. We found the same benefits on our irrigated acres as we did on our dry land acres, so it made sense to put our irrigated acres into no-till crop production. After 20 years of no-till crop production I am very pleased that we adopted this practice on our farm. I really feel the no-till crop production practices kept us f...
