Most men secretly envy that male character in the beer commercials known as “the most interesting man in the world.” After watching that and also feeling a tinge of envy, I got to thinking about who is “most interesting man in Wyoming?” Or woman, for that matter. After all, this is the Equality State. Another key attribute is the name of the person you could pick to spend the rest of your life with on a desert island – now that would require someone interesting. This column is just a first attem...

Good morning Banner County! Here is hoping that you had a nice Labor Day weekend. We had a really nice stay-at-home-and-get-something done week-end, and it was great.

Tuesday was 'signature day', the halls were decorated and a movie was shown that evening. Wednesday was 'crazy day' ,Thursday is 'class...

For the special this week at the Hereford Community Church, Amy and Renee Martin sang “Lord Have Mercy.” The sermon topic was “God Was Appalled.” The scripture was Jeremiah Chapter 5. Jeremiah was instructed to search the city of Jerusalem to try to find any righteous people. He could not find any who had not rejected God. So Jeremiah prophesied that unless the people would repent and come back to God, enemies would come and conquer the city. Pastor Opdycke compared our country with Jerusal...

1 years ago September 4, 1914 There are fancier towns than the little old town, There are towns that are bigger than this; And the people who live in the tinier town All the city contentment may miss. There are things you can see in the wealthier town That you can’t in a town that is small, And yet up and down, There is no other town Like your own little town, after all. It may be that the street through the heart of town Isn’t long, isn’t wide, isn’t straight; But the neighbors you know in your own little town With a welcome your coming awai...
We arrived home safely after a four day trip to North and South Dakota. The trip was sponsored by the Panhandle No-Till Partnership. Our goal on the trip was to learn about soil health and high quality no-till crop production. I think I speak for everyone who went on the tour that this trip was time well spent. I think we all gained a greater appreciation for the importance of taking steps on our farms and ranches to improve the health of the soils we work with. We can take the concepts learned...
