"Where the hell's Cartwright?". Those may have been some of the first words Will Berry's now wife said to him, but it's far from the first, or last time he's heard the question. Now it emblazons the back of the merchandise, designed by his wife Emily Berry, of Yellowstone Tactical; the firearm store tucked in the Badlands and hills that flank the Yellowstone River between Fairview, MT and Williston, ND, on ND Highway 200. Yellowstone Station opened April 2022, with Yellowstone Tactical...

North Dakota’s deer gun season, arguably the state’s most anticipated and celebrated hunting season, opens Nov. 10 at noon Central time. The Game and Fish Department’s standardized opening day of North Dakota’s deer gun season is determined by the calendar and always opens the Friday immediately preceding Veterans Day, Nov. 11. This is to ensure that the opening day of North Dakota’s deer gun season does not occur on the federal holiday. The last time the opener of the 16 ½-day season fell on the second weekend in November and ran through Th...
North Dakota’s deer gun season opens Nov. 10 at 12 p.m. CT, and the state Game and Fish Department cautions deer hunters to be wary of ice conditions. In some parts of the state, there are already smaller and mid-sized waters that show the appearance of safe ice. Even though deer might be able to make it across, it doesn’t mean hunters can. Ice can form overnight, causing unstable conditions. Ice thickness is not consistent, as it can vary significantly within a few inches. Hunters walking the edge of a cattail slough will not find the sam...
With the continued presence of highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) in wild birds in North Dakota, North Dakota State University Extension specialists continue to encourage biosecurity practices for bird owners of all sizes and around wild birds. North Dakota has had no positive domestic cases since April. However, with positive cases occurring currently in Canada, the risk of transmission will increase as fall migration continues. Hunters participating in fall season should be aware of the...
Variability in moisture content and maturity of corn in the fields will impact harvest decisions this season, according to Ken Hellevang, North Dakota State University Extension agricultural engineer and grain drying expert. "There is considerable variation this year due to the challenging spring, variation in rainfall, planting date, maturity rating, and growing degree days, so it is important to check each field and even various areas in a field," says Hellevang. Normally, optimum harvest...
With the Sidney and surrounding communities bereaved of their sugar beet industry, many farmers have looked to corn and soybeans to fill the gap. To soften the learning curve, Farmer's Choice, McClusky, ND, is bringing their expertise in those products to Sidney. Duane Peters, Sidney, former Sidney Sugars agronomist, will represent Farmer's Choice in Sidney. He wants local farmers to know that "we are here to help". They have purchased the former Trans-Systems building at 1120 E. Main St. and...

By Marley Voll, Richland county extension agent. As harvest wraps up it is time to consider your fall weed management plan. There are many factors to consider including what your next crop will be, what weeds you are targeting, and what your crop rotation is. During the fall, winter annual weeds like cheatgrass, tansy mustard, and marestail germinate and begin growing. A study out of NDSU found that early rosette is when marestail control is most effective. The rosette stage can often be found in fields in late September and early October...
Temperatures are trending down across the Northern Plains and will fluctuate up and down as we head closer to winter. These temperature fluctuations cause stress on sorghum plants, which can lead to toxicity issues for livestock. "The sorghum family of plants contains hydrocyanic acid (prussic acid) attached to a molecule of dhurrin," says James Rogers, North Dakota State University Extension forage systems specialist. "The dhurrin molecule releases prussic acid when the plant is stressed....
Monitoring grazing use in the fall has the potential to significantly impact 2024 forage production. North Dakota State University Extension has found that heavy grazing use in the fall can reduce forage production the following growing season by over 50%. "As we transition into fall, it can be tempting to keep cattle on pasture longer to stretch feed resources," says Miranda Meehan, NDSU Extension livestock environmental stewardship specialist. "However, this decision can have long-term...
Soybean harvest is in full swing across North Dakota, with field corn and sunflowers to follow. Weather conditions have been very warm and mostly dry, with a few intermittent showers across the state to shut down harvest progress for a few days. Angie Johnson, North Dakota State University Extension farm and ranch safety coordinator, urges farmers to use any breaks in harvest for necessary maintenance that can help prevent equipment failures and fires. "Equipment fires, specifically combine...

Glasgow - As you are hitting the field this fall, be sure to take a break from scanning the horizon for game and look down at the ground once in a while. Not only will this help you avoid stepping on a cactus or a rattlesnake, but you might also see one of eastern Montana’s rarely seen critters…the greater short-horned lizard, commonly known as a “horny toad.” If you do, Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks would like to know about it. The greater short- horned lizard, Phrynosoma hernandesi, was once considered the second most abundant reptile...

Helena – Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks along with the Montana Department of Health and Human Services are advising hunters to have their deer, elk, and moose tested for chronic wasting disease (CWD).

While it is not a requirement, FWP is asking hunters to have a negative CWD test result in hand before bringing their animal to a processor for donation. If the animal tests p...

As we age, our immune system wanes, reducing our ability to fight infection and increasing our likelihood of being hospitalized for the respiratory flu. High dose flu vaccine helps folks 65 and older fight the flu, but what does “high dose” mean, and how do I know if I should get it? The high dose flu vaccine contains a higher dose of the component that stimulates the immune system, called the antigen, than the standard or “regular” flu vaccine. According to the Mayo Clinic, high dose flu vaccines help prevent flu-related hospitalizations and c...

Temperatures are getting colder; soon we are likely to experience a killing frost. I generally consider that to be a cold snap below 28°F. When that happens things start to go to bed for the winter months. We often receive many inquiries this time of year with regard to specific questions on how to prepare perennial plants such as trees, shrubs, and other flowers for winter here in ND and eastern MT. The big one we usually remind folks of is consistent water. Although some years there is an...
