I have never seen the harvest be interrupted so many times by rain! It looks so lush and green up in the north country this year. It hasn’t been conducive for a great harvest with the highest protein, however. I missed the news deadline last week so I am including a few items from then. Keira and kiana Simonson were in Browning over the weekend at the UIRA finals. Keira came out on top to win the year end in lady barrels qualifying for another trip to Las Vegas to compete in the INFR Finals. Kia...

We have had a few bird hunters up this direction already! I haven't heard if they were all successful, but hopefully they...
As August draws to a close, we look forward to what September will bring. August delivered way more rain than ever before. In fact, our rain gauge ran over so all I know is we got more than 5 inches. The rain was harmful to the crops that were still in the field, but certainly was beneficial for the ground water, and filled all the ponds! Jane Ereaux, Sue Frary, Sharon Icenogle and Dixie Stordahl traveled to Ft Peck to the theater last weekend. It was wonderful, Rodgers and Hammerstien songs....

A nice crowd was on hand for the dedication of the bench and trees in honor of Paul Johannesen for all the time and effort he put into the Loring a...
