Tall Todd and the custom cutter guys are still down in the Conrad area. The boys are finishing up some winter wheat north of Conrad and waiting on the green spring grains. Some barley and spring wheat HAVE been harvested but high grain moisture is halting their big machines from wrapping things up here in the Golden Triangle
I'm not sure. According to NOAA, July marked the hottest month on record here in the United States. Drought expanded to cover nearly 63% of the Lower 2 million acres. According to NOAA scientists, the average temperature during July was 77

I received a report this morning (Friday) that "Touring Todd" and the custom cutter crew blew into Conrad yesterday and the day before. I understand that road construction made for a long move from the Forsyth and Billings area
Duane Drogitis is the latest winner of the $10 drawing from our Farmers Market here in Shelby. Who couldn't use an extra $10! Why not sign up for the next drawing this afternoon (Thursday) at our Shelby Food and Craft Market down in City Park
So long to the Hutterites! At least that zany and high spirited bunch from the King Colony down toward Lewistown. "American Colony: Meet the Huterites", the 10 episode series that debuted back in May, is presenting the last program from the series tomorrow (Tuesday) evening at 8 on the National Geographic Channel. I've thoroughly enjoyed watching the antics and adventures of these 59 Hutterit
Brice Stewart was the WINNER of the recent $10 drawing our Shelby Food and Craft Market. Congratulations Brice, it sounds like a "peach of a deal". There's another Food and Craft Market tomorrow (Thursday) here in Shelby down at Shelby City Park
I received a report from "Thrashing" Todd earlier this morning (Wednesday). He says the custom cutter guys are done with the irrigated barley over in Forsyth and they are harvesting irrigated spring wheat, which is too wet at 20% moisture
