Colby Johnson was celebrating his 30th birthday in Las Vegas when he noticed the neon advertisements for CBD. The letters were everywhere. The hemp-derived tincture cannabidiol is said to relieve pain, anxiety and other health issues, though science hasn't yet corroborated such claims. Regardless. "When I see those signs, I think to myself, the best CBD can be grown here in Montana," said Johnson, who farms north of Conrad. He isn't alone. A wealth of Treasure State growers...
A labyrinth of channels, willow bottoms, islands and a general mix of wetlands interact to piece together the headwaters of the Missouri River. The point where the three forks – the Jefferson, Gallatin and Madison rivers – join as one, the great Missouri River begins an odyssey, heading out as having had the starring role in the creation of a state. As a route of western expansion, the Missouri River had few equals. Missouri Headwaters State Park, at the three forks, doc...
The old, wooden bleachers at Carter County High School have been removed and installation of new ones was completed last week. The bleachers previously posed a safety risk as locking mechanisms were failing. The new, plastic bleachers donned in Bulldog blue have additional handicap areas and hand rails on the stairs. Additionally, they are equipped with a remote and electronics, making "pulling" them out a breeze. The bid for the installation was just under...
Hello God, it’s me, Mara: You know, Lord, grass is turning green in our corner of the earth again. It’s been said that grass is the least pretentious of this world’s everyday plants and the most important to mankind. The young blades are simplicity itself, not the simplicity of unicellular life in stagnant water, but specialized simplicity unmatched in the fields. It’s been written that all the grasses, be they corn, wheat, barley, or oats are perfection, having eliminated nonessentials, but we know it is Your gift, Lord, uni...
My sheep herding experiences started at a young age. At probably age 9, I went out to my Grandparent Coons ranch on Boxelder near Belltower and stayed there all summer. I worked and they paid me something though not too much. This lasted through age 14 after which I began to work for others for real money. I will write more about that later. In the later years especially a lot of my work consisted of herding sheep. The sheep had a bedding ground at the base of a hill we called Palmer Hill on the Briggs place just north of...
It wasn’t too long ago that Brice spotted a robin sitting in our apple tree. It wasn’t much longer before he saw another. Where are the chickadees that used to come before the robins? Maybe they will be coming soon. Robins are nice. They make nests, mate, and lay little blue eggs in those nests. I don’t remember seeing juvenile robins, but I’ve seen lots of pieces of those eggs. Shortly after the robins came the grackles, the black bird with iridescent heads that look green or blue as they turn their heads. I don’t like grac...
Hello, We have cows. We have some good cows. We have some bad cows. Everyone that has cows has some good cows and some bad cows. Everyone wishes they had all good cows. Many ranchers strive to improve their herds to have not only all good cows, but all great cows. Our red roan cow is not a good cow. She is not even a bad cow. She is a terrible cow. She has a bad bag. She is wild. She always has a roan calf that the buyers cut back because it is small, narrow, and off color. So you wonder, why would you keep an awful cow for 1...

As you read this memories article, you will discover that it is a little different from past articles. When reading through some Shifting Scenes, I became interested about the Mumedy family from an article written by Leona Mumedy Miller who begins with her father and mother, Andrew and Margaret Mumedy. She wrote this information in 1981. It includes information about her family, homestead days, school, daily activities, court house clerk for different attorneys, and up through her time at state and federal government...
