The 2020 Phillips County Fair kicks off next week and this year's honored couple is excited and humbled to be at center of the "Barn in the USA" themed annual event. Gail and Pat Wiebers are no strangers to Phillips County activities, making it only fitting for them to hold the title of Grand Marshals. Gail grew up south of Fleming in the New Haven community where he was especially active with cattle in 4-H. In a family of 12 children, Gail and his siblings showed cattle, dairy cattle and...
Serving the community of Haxtun for the last five years, the impact that Dr. Breck McCarty has made has been immeasurable.

Animals are smarter than people. If this line seems familiar, you’re right. I’ve said it lots of times before. This is not an old column. It’s simply one more example of indisputable evidence regarding the superiority of cows, horses and dogs to name a few, over humans. If you are a cowboy-type person, you’ve always known about this. Chances are, dog maybe even cat owners also have been aware of the superior intelligence of their companions. Should you happen to be a non-Resistol owning,...
It has been a year of great interest thus far, from rancorous politicking and damaging storms to viral health concerns, real and imagined. Such an impactful combination has encouraged a common observation by many; it would be nice to hit a restart button on the last six months or so. Even if we could, would we find ourselves in a different or better place now? Would foreknowledge steer us toward healthier outcomes or simply overwhelm? Is it a foregone conclusion, as in generations before, that...
We are a farm family, so playing with tractors, combines, semis, barns and cows is commonplace. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve stubbed my toe on a toy tractor or vacuumed up a barnyard animal. The boys love to farm whatever dad is farming at the time, and (for the most part) work as a good team to get their carpet fields harvested. Last week, we were taking a break from harvesting to let a field dry out a bit so the boys and I were just hanging out at the farm waiting for the go ahead fro...
Letter to the Editor, We’re all in the same boat, that’s what we keep hearing. I disagree, yes we have all had things taken from us since March, but the things I have lost or am missing are different than what you have lost or are missing.

My losses are no greater than yours, nor...
