If I were asked to give a commencement talk to a group of high school graduates this year, here is what I would have told them: Today’s graduating seniors face a much different world than the one faced by their parents and grandparents. These graduates face a time when even a college education might not be enough. They face a lifetime of education. A paradigm has occurred here. We are living during a time when the world is changing so fast, successful workers will need constant retraining and c...

Rain rain go away. The old saying of watching what you wish for is certainly true. The weeds think it is great but our lawn mowers sure would like a break. Maybe in June. As long as we still can travel the flooded roads. Traveling, picking weeds or even mowing the grass, we all have the need to buy and sell. The Albin community garage sale provided a good shopping experience. About seven families brought in their wares for others to purchase. If you still have items to sell or possibly a need...

This past Memorial Day weekend could not have been any nicer and it was wonderful to see the several cemeteries we visited looking so nice. I read in the news about three or four types of vandalism across the country to either memorials or in cemeteries and it makes a person want to thrash someone. Respect for our fallen servicemen and women is the very least we can do. L...
Last week I introduced some of Dietrich Kasten’s water use efficiency data he presented at a past year’s winter conference. Dietrich had a water use efficiency rating of 33 percent for a winter wheat and summer fallow rotation. Dietrich arrived at this 33 percent rating by using the total amount of precipitation received on average for the total length of the rotation (42.98 inches), subtracted the amount of moisture required for vegetative growth (10 inches), then determined the amount of moi...
