Picture this: the most interesting man in Wyoming is surrounded by his beautiful wife, his pretty daughters in law, daughter and pretty granddaughters. He raises a glass in a toast and looks into the camera and says: “I don’t normally drink, but when I do . . . I drink Wyoming Whiskey.” That could be the key line in a TV commercial as a takeoff of the amazing beer campaign that got me thinking a few weeks ago about just who is the most interesting man or woman in Wyoming? After putting it to a...

I was looking at a house that had a mature garden, complete with a strawberry patch. The owner said “go ahead have all you want,” as he noticed me drooling over the tiny fence holding in summer sweetness. I only took one, but that taste reminded me of why I sat in the middle of a red and green patch so many years ago and didn’t stop eating until I was sick. It was so fresh. It tasted so much like summer, if summer has a taste. And the flavor lingered in my mouth long after leaving the garden. My...

1 years ago September 18, 1914 Peter Carlson was a hard working farmer near Waverly, Nebraska. He raised corn and put up hay to feed cattle for the Omaha market. He schemed and toiled early and late, first to raise the feed and then slaved and slopped through mud and snow all winter to feed his steers, fit for the market. But when he pulled into South Omaha he found the pens full of sleek fat stock from the plains, the mountain slopes of Wyoming. He tried to sneer at them as grass fed, but all the same, they generally topped the market over...
I’d like to continue visiting about our tour of the Burleigh County Soil District near Bismarck, North Dakota that a group of producers from our region went on a few weeks ago. I find the approach the producers in this region are taking to improve soil health is something we can all learn from.

After enjoying a lunch at the Menoken Soil Health Research farm south o...
