farming

If you have read the Gazette lately, it would seem that all the problems with agriculture not being profitable are the results of Donald Trump being President. Bullcrap.

A few months ago, I asked Paul if he put his hay into stacks or rolls. And no, I will never live that down. "It's a hay BALE, not a Cinnamon hay roll." He tells me I have to learn the right way to talk if I expect to be invited out to the ranch.

Got a big surprise yesterday while working.

Take a picture of the landscape now and compare it to what it will look like on July 31st.

"Make hay while the sun shines"... the only problem is the sun won't.

I was wrong when I thought it would be great when the kids were on their own. However, I am overjoyed that the cows and bulls are now on their own for the summer.

Can anyone tell me how much the price of tractors and combines went down between 2010 and 2017? The answer would be none. They all went up substantially and no tariffs.

My wife got lucky the other day when a cow went down on the ice.

Last year, Jon Tester challenged anyone in the media to try to keep up with him for a day. Okay, I'll take the challenge, and I challenge Jon Tester to keep up with me for a day.

The Montana Agri-Trade Expo and Home & Health Show will be going on through Saturday at MetraPark with more than 14,000 visitors expected for the largest Agriculture show in the region.

There are a lot of farmers out there that are now saying they can't make it because of tariffs. That's not true. Your problems did not start 2 weeks ago when the President announced them. it takes longer than 2 weeks to get yourself in financial trouble...

It's funny how mother nature works. After the winter from hell, we are blessed with the best hay crops we have ever seen. I've never seen dry land hay like this before. I hope all of you can replenish your supply this year, and remember sometimes bad things come in 2's...
