"My purpose is to reflect on the fact that just because your family is going through it doesn't mean you'r...

Late summer, hot days, cool nights, little to no rain. Sounds like fall is on its way. The grass is turning brown and there doesn't seem to be any way to stop it. Flowers are drying up and starting to look a bit... well...ugly. But that's a perfect time for those of us who collect seeds.

There are a lot of really pretty flowers...

The crisis caused by the novel coronavirus has substantially impacted our state, nation and world. This has impacted most, if not all, facets of daily life in our state. Wyoming agriculture has not been spared from these dynamics. In fact, this crisis has been compounded for our ag producers by an extremely fragile and inflexible meat packing industry. The incompetence of large international meat processing monopolies in responding to this crisis has left ranchers scrambling to find a place to sell their livestock as consumers find themselves...
