I have had a lot of exposure to beef these past few weeks, and I don’t mean I have been over eating. About a week ago, Albin resident Monte Lerwick invited me to a branding, an opportunity I could not pass up. On the journalistic side of things, it would be a great photo opportunity, but on the personal side, it would be a first-time experience. That’s right. I have never been to a branding before, up until now. Now that I have actually experienced a branding, I can say it was a lot of fun. “It...

The weather turned the corner to spring this past weekend. What a great time to get out and freshen up the green turf around our homes. Earth Day was Tuesday and we often take this time of the year to clean our little patch of the earth. If you have waste to get rid of after cleaning, check with the town before dumping certain items from your lawns into the dumpsters. The town is restricted on what it can take to the landfill but you can take grass, tree limbs and other cleanup items to the...

There is no doubt in my mind that having living roots growing in the soil for extended periods of time is a key component to improving soil health. This is also the most challenging aspect of improving soil health in our semi-arid environment. As more and more producers move from a conventional winter wheat/summer fallow cropping rotation to a continuous no-till crop production system we are moving towards healthier soil. No-till crop production systems that include continuous diverse crop...
