I guess the most appropriate word to use for the 2014 harvest in Richland County is interesting. Not necessarily bad, not necessarily good, just interesting. When the barley harvest started in July, it looked like everything was going to be good and maybe even terrific. The winter wheat that actually made it through the winter was looking good and for the most part the barley could have been classified as phenomenal. I remember visiting fields to certify them for the noxious weed seed free...

The 2014 sugar beet crop is shaping up to be a good one according to Sidney Sugars agricultural manager Russ Fullmer. The latest root samples indicated big tonnage. “They were pretty good,” Fullmer said. “The tons will be there.” The earlier light frosts should help with sugar content while not affecting growth. Fullmer said there are more yellow fields this year than in the past few years, indicating that the beets are making sugar. Sugar content has been an issue recently, but Fullmer predicts better sugar this harvest. The root samples...

Herman Frederick Lange purchased the western half of his farm from the Northern Pacific Railroad in 1909 and the eastern half in 1910. In total, he purchased 640 acres. He used this land to grow wheat, barley and corn for his cows. He raised four boys and one girl on the farm. Herman actively farmed the land until the mid to late 1930s when his sons Leo and Herman took over. In 1939, Leo married Gertrude Mae Kennedy of Glendive and they had six children: four boys and two girls. In 1967, Leo's...
The year was 1910. Carl and Anna Bergstedt had begun their journeys in Sweden. Like so many immigrants of their time, they moved from place to place before settling and establishing their legacy on a homestead eight miles northwest of Savage, Montana. Carl arrived via stage coach and Anna and their two children arrived shortly afterwards. With no doctors in the area, Anna returned to Minnesota to give birth to their third child in 1910. Carl purchased three beautiful Percheron horses, farm...
Farming and ranching built Sidney and have played a crucial role in the health of the community for the past 100 years. The faces of farming and ranching have changed in that time period, particularly the farming aspect of agriculture. Farming made an abrupt shift about 50 years ago when it moved from a resource and tradition enterprise to a science-based business. The science based aspect of farming has led to more reliable production and larger harvests, which translates to better food...
A railroad man from Billings, Montana by the name of Savage came down the valley and spotted a bit of prairie which he thought was an ideal spot for a town. He may have been Patrick B. Savage who proved up on a homestead in Section 20, Township 27, Range 56 on April 21, 1913. He bought the land and the town started March 3, 1910. Homesteaders were rapidly settling the area. The main canal was completed in 1909 and water turned on in 1910. Emma Jeffries was the first telephone operator. She owned...
Sears was a small town located east of the stage road about one-half mile and north of Sears Creek. The present highway follows the old stage road. The town was located on the site of the home of the late Fred Peterson. Sears grew fast and died fast when the railroad went through approximately one-half mile east and below the hill. The first train went through to Sidney in 1912. The Sears Schoolhouse was cut in two and upper floor was moved about one and one-half miles south where the main road intersected the railroad tracks. It was graded...
When the railroad was started in 1910 it missed some of the small towns. One of these was Sears, which was located about halfway between Crane and Savage. The railroad missed this town by about a mile, so Crane and Savage were started. The business places moved both ways. Some larger concerns started places in both towns. The first church was built in 1914. It was a basement church. The new church was built in 1928....
