This week across the country, Ag Day will be celebrated as an annual event, honoring and recognizing those who put the meal on the table before us. As the backbone for a nation that relies heavily on, for the day-to-day operations across the country, the world...

Wow! Another accolade for Bozeman. Now, according to Time.com, it’s one of the greatest places on the planet.

S., top ski town in the West, favorite spot for trust-funders to pretend to be locals, etc. And it is a swell place, but greatest on the planet? Why n...

Happy Spring equinox! I spent the weekend in Billings, and I really felt like spring was on the way! There was very little snow to be found. But up here it’s a total white landscape! If we get a slow melt, the water should soak in and provide enough soil moisture to grow the crops! If it melts quickly the ponds would get filled which we need also! Monday morning, I woke up to a very thick fog so according to some people we’ll have a nice rain in 60 days! Or 90 days! A shout-out to Pete Lum...
