One of my favorite guests, Helen Elliot, will be ON THE AIR this afternoon (Thursday) at 2:30,on KSEN to fill us in on this Sunday afternoon's SPECTACULAR performance down the beautiful Orpheum Theatre in Conrad. A few years back, 3 musicians from the far corners of the world moved to New York City with their hearts set on their dreams of becoming world class performers...

The theme for this year's National Ad Day is, "Agriculture: Food for Life," & those 3 words really say it all. Agriculture is Montana's #1 industry. Montana seems to have it all. I DON'T "think" we have papaya's, & I'm not disappointed. In fac...

As Montana Agriculture Appreciation rolls along through March, I'm reminded of our P's & "'s...peas & lentils, & I'm talking DRY edible peas. In fact, Montana's the #1 producer of lentils & dry edible peas in the entire USA! Often times, "city folk" will come up to me & say, "Puffman, exactly how big IS an acre?" I like to give th...

We're honoring Agriculture all this month & celebrating Agriculture. There are now some 257,454 millennial farmers in the country! Not only that, but more than 20% of ALL farmers are beginning farmers. More & more, Montana beginning & veteran farmers "network" on YouTube to help with production questions & mechanical fixes on the farm. It's working t...

Back in October of 1960, there were "solid rumors" over in Whitefish of a merger of the Great Northern with the Northern Pacific & Chicago, Burlington & Quincy. We'll be reading the "Story-Behind-The-Story" on that merger tonight (Tuesday) during Montana History up at the Marias Heritage Center. We're ...

We're almost through the month of March, & Montana is rolling along. More & more, I am convinced that our Montana Agriculture is #1 & "TOPS" in so many different facets of agriculture.. For example, both Korea & Japan are the #1 consumer of our Montana beef. Speaking of #1...

Not really much at all. While we're recognizing & celebrating the abundance provided by Montana Agriculture all this month here at KSEN & KZIN, I'll submit that whole milk is only 4.5% fat.  In fact, a Montana diary cow will produce over 100 POUNDS of milk a day while the average Montanan will gulp down 400 glasses of milk every year! This m...

If you ask me, there's a ton of it (even more) right here in Montana. As we celebrate National Agricultural Day this month with this year's theme, "Agriculture: Food for Life," we're reminded that there's not only 265,000 head of cattle on Montana's Indian reservations along, but our friends down in Beaverhead County have the #5 beef producing county in the United States...

National Agriculture Day's Thursday, March 14th, & we're honoring Agriculture ALL this month at KSEN & KZIN! MAN, we do love our pork! In fact, right here at "home," the NUMBER ONE (!) produced livestock in Toole County is HOGS! Did you know that a Montana pig's gestation period is 3 months, 3 weeks & 3 days...a total o...

The theme for THIS year's National Agriculture Day (Thursday 3/14) is "Agriculture: Food for Life," & we're downright proud of our MONTANA wheat! According to our Montana Grain Growers Association, MORE foods are made WITH wheat than with any other cereal grain. Di...

I'd submit our Montana wheat is the BEST! In fact, both wheat & barley are Montana #1 cash crop. Montana's in the TOP 5 wheat producing states, & our friends & neighbors over in Choteau County (think Fort Benton) have the #3 wheat producing county in the country! KSEN & K 9...
