Dale Dean was only four years old when his uncle, Rankin Dean, bought a new 1955 International Harvester R-110. The popular two-door pickups of the time were powered by a 100 horsepower inline-6 engine, mated to a 3-speed manual transmission and, according to many owners, were "tough as nails." Now, Dale Dean's son, Adam, is planning a 2,500-mile round trip from Lewistown, Montana to Chicago, Illinois with the pickup. Adam is making the trip to pay homage to his late father...

I originally wrote this for my hometown newspaper, in which I try to avoid politics to some length. With this below I thought that it all needs to be said straightforwardly, and politics unfortunately is interwoven deeply into the matter at hand, quite unnecessarily I believe. Some may see some problems of thought within my writing. That is what I’m a writer here for, to transmit thought and ideas. And I certainly can’t speak directly for those now on the land trying to express their point of view. That would be dis...
Consumers have the right to know the origin of their beef purchases, and ranchers have the right to a fair and competitive market. This is a reasonable expectation. However, since 2015 Congress specifically exempted beef and pork from labeling laws. Consumers do not know where their beef comes from, and ranchers do not have fair prices. If you are a consumer learning of this for the first time, you might be incredulous. The last time you purchased beef from the supermarket, the labels clearly stated “USDA Graded” and “Pr...

Also, thankfully, both gals had near-by family to help out with trips to the doctor, they or their friends could buzz up town to pick up medicines for them or groceries. Neighbors and friends al...

Each month, the “Western Ag Reporter” is going to highlight a front page "feel good story" to remind readers that although times are tough in agriculture, there is a sunny side. I think the only reason farmers and ranchers remain in agriculture is because they are always able to look on the sunny side--even if they have to look really hard. I can think of many such examples around our outfit. For example, the other day when we were pushing cows into the corral to preg test them, one high headed cow smelled a rat and cut bac...
