Rocks pelt the side of Sgt Chuck Lewis’ legs as he continues to put one foot in front of the other, determined to complete his mission. To his right, an 18-wheeler breezes by, giving him breathing room but still close enough to take your breath away. The gust dislodges his Veteran ball cap; Lewis stops to fetch it as an Amtrak rattles by on his left. This is Big Sky Country, there’s no doubt. The small blip on the online Spot satellite tracker gives no clue of the vast nothingness that mak...

The optimum plant population for corn production has been increasing in recent years. Much of the gains in corn productivity have been attributed to higher populations and corn hybrids that are adapted to these higher populations. Also, in drought prone areas, high populations are needed to reach maximum yield. Based on data from research conducted at NDSU and by other regional entities, plant population in drought prone areas with an expected yield of less than 100 bushels per acre, should be...

Going from one state agency to another to obtain and renew all the licenses that a business needs to operate in Montana can be a process for owners and managers, as can having to fill out separate forms for each of the licenses and cutting several checks for each of their fees. That’s why Montana lawmakers enacted a bill in 1997 that launched the “one-stop business licensing” project. The project consolidated the application and renewal process of seven state licenses under one roof at the Montana Department of Revenue. The product of that...
If you’re a gun owner, whether it be rifle, pistol or shotgun you undoubtedly have one lingering question: “Where’s my ammo.” Walk in to any spring goods or gun store in search of ammo for your guns and you’re apt to come away empty handed. The problem is so acute that many large retailers (Cabelas, Scheels, etc.) have placed limits on the amount any customer can buy (assuming, of course, that the customer can find it). So where have all the shells gone? Panic buying by those who fear more restrictions on guns and gun owners may be a factor. W...
