Even with thousands of hunters in the field during the opening week of the pheasant season, the State Game and Fish Department received only a few reports from hunters who found dead deer in southwestern North Dakota. Game and Fish personnel have been monitoring the deer population in the southwest since late August, when the first reports of dead deer, attributed to epizootic hemorrhagic disease, came in from Bowman, Grant and Burleigh counties. Isolated deer deaths continued into mid-September, prompting the department to suspend the sale of...
For a Montana farmer, a lot depends on the weather. That’s perhaps because their livelihood depends on it. For one area farmer, Mother Nature was very accommodating this farming season. Anton Borg of Sidney can’t recall any year since he started dry land farming back in 2009, when crops looked this good. With high yields and strong test weights, the season promises to go down in his farm’s history as one for the books. “The last few years have been good. But this year we had really adequate mois...
Sugarbeet harvest 2013 should be completed by the end of this week according to Sidney Sugars agriculturalist Russ Fullmer. Before the heavy rains caused some delays, the crop was 80% harvested. “We broke records for weekly and daily tons with 1 day coming in at over 70,000 tons. The digging was good, the trucks were going, everything was clean and there were no breakdowns,” Fullmer said. “We’re really lucky compared to Western Sugar (in Billings). Some of those growers haven’t been able to d...

They say that farming is not just a job, but a way of life. This has certainly been true for 3rd generation Fairview sugar beet farmer Robbie Stepan. As Stepan reflects on his last 41 years of farming, and experiences his final beet harvest, his feelings expressed of retirement are bittersweet. Stepan has always enjoyed beet harvest and says that he couldn’t ask for a better one than this year’s. However, Stepan has not been able to say that about every harvest and remembers some very wet years,...

Cover crops have been around for a long time. Until recent years, no one gave them much thought. That is changing. According to Ann Ronning, Roosevelt County Extension Agent, the concept of cover crops dates back hundreds of years. “It really went by the wayside after WWII with the development of synthetic fertilizers and chemicals. Prior to the War, cover crops were used to help prevent soil erosion and to add fertility to the soil,” she said. Today, researchers are looking at the pot...
