"Sugar Valley and Sidney started on Sept. 30 with some quotas...

It’s been a disappointing crop year for everyone. Yields are down, and in many cases quality also is not up to usual standards. Overall, this will not be a banner year for anyone, sugarbeet growers included. “Our last root sample taken last month was 16 tons, and last year at the same time it was 24 tons,” says Russ Fullmer, Sidney Sugars agricultural manager. “We’re expecting a 22-23 tons per acre crop, which is definitely not a record crop year.” He adds, “Other crops didn’t do so well eith...

A Burlington Northern train passing through the area started all three fires when sparks from the wheels ignited dry grass along the tracks. By the time volunteer firemen had the blaze under control, four local fire departments, Savage, West Glendive, Sidney and the City of Glendive, had responded to the situation. “There were three fires in all, started by a s...
It’s one thing to see pictures and hear horror stories that others have to tell after a vicious weather system has passed through an area. It’s quite another to find oneself at the center of that raging storm, unable to do anything but wait until the event ends before picking up the pieces. Brad and Peggy Ann Strupp, Crane, found themselves caught on the road, pulling a 16 foot loaded cargo trailer when the horrific hail and 110 mph windstorm struck Savage on July 29. The wind flipped their trai...

Warm summer weather, coupled with plenty of moisture, has allowed beets to grow well this past month. Due to bad weather in early spring, however, Russ Fullmer, Sidney Sugars Incorporated agriculture manager, expects a light tonnage year even if the weather remains warm and sunny for the next few months. “The beets are growing well with lots of water, and the heat is good,” says Fullmer. “Beets love the mid 80 or lower temperatures; the 90º and higher temperatures shuts them down a bit during...
Thanks to historic high water levels on both the Yellowstone and the Missouri rivers this spring, the Lower Yellowstone Irrigation Project (LYIP) faced unusual problems this season. Crews not only dealt with collapsed banks and washouts, but they also had to take steps to prevent the flooding of 1500 acres that lie below the river bank in the Nohly area. LYIP closed off three open drains in that area this spring to prevent water from flooding farmland. “We’ve never had this situation bef...
