Dear Editor, One of the most important civic duties Montanans will participate in next year is filling out and responding to the 2020 U.S. Census. At just nine questions long, the questionnaire might not seem like a big deal, but it is. It's the Census, done every 10 years, that's responsible for deciding how much federal money comes into Montana. And in a small state like ours, every dollar matters. It's estimated that Montana receives more than $2 billion each year as a result of the Census....
Dear Editor, I know firsthand that farming and ranching has never been easy. My wife Sharla and I still run our family farm outside of Big Sandy on the same land my grandparents homesteaded more than 100 years ago. For our family and producers across Montana, working the land that's been passed down for generations has never been about just making a buck-it's a way of life in rural America. But the reality is that this business comes with real, sometimes overwhelming, uncertainty. This...

You might have noticed in recent years that kefir, kombucha, and kimchi have gained popularity, these products all share one distinct quality (no, it’s not that they all start with the letter “k”). These three products have all gone through fermentation. Fermentation is a process done by microorganisms, such as bacteria and yeast, in an anaerobic environment in which they break down a sugar. This results in carbon dioxide (what gives many fermented products their fizziness) and either alcohol and/or an acid. Roubie Younkin will share the conce... Full story

In order to reach this requirement, a minimum of 52 of these plates must be placed in operation by 2020. Please consider upgrading your plates to the Scottie plaid. These plates are a huge financial benefit to the Scottie Booster Club and the income the plates bring simply can not be replaced. The plates are not limited to...
So when I wrote that harvest had been killed, I was wrong. It had merely been wounded, severely, but not dead. The resurrection has us back in the field, harvesting what's still standing tall enough to get, without risking picking up rocks with the header. We know the quality of the wheat took a huge hit, so the value of the crop isn't much. Prices were abysmal before. Now they'll be worse. But the more we take off the ground now, the less we'll have to deal with next summer. What's on the...
The Glasgow Scottie football team found their footing under the Friday night lights in Wolf Point on Oct. 18.

Glasgow lit up the scoreboard early in the first quarter as Alec Boland and Jesse Lee marched the ball down the field. Boland carried it across the goal line, which was...

In their last home meet before Districts, the Lady Scotties hosted the Plentywood Wildcats on Oct. 16 after recognizing cross country, fall cheer and volleyball senior athletes. With the rush of an undefeated season, the home crowd making noise and the girls playing their hearts out, nothing could match up against the Wildcats as they beat the home team in five matches, 25-12, 22-25, 23-25, 25-17, 10-15. This was the first game the Scotties have had to battle it out in five matches all season....
