Planning Stages: The first place I like to start with this process is deciding what it is you would like to grow. People often ask me that question about their gardens and I respond with, “What would you like to consume!?” When it comes to veggies you should always seek to grow things you have a use for. The next part of the process is how will they be grown. Will you be gardening traditionally, in the ground, with rows? Will you be doing raised beds or containers? Answering these questions will help you make decisions on plant varieties. The...

Helena - Each spring, Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks receives calls from people who have picked up deer fawns or other wildlife.

A sump pump is the first line of defense for many homeowners to prevent water from seeping into the basement. "Last summer and fall were dry, so many sump pumps probably haven't run for a long time," says North Dakota State University Extension agricultural engineer Tom Scherer. "However, as the snow starts melting this spring, homeowners should check their sump pump to make sure it works properly, and if it has some age on it, have a backup ready in case it quits.

Don Steinbeisser Jr.'s farm has been in his family since the 1930s, and for nearly all of his life, 900 of his 3,000 irrigated acres were dedicated to growing sugar beets. That all changed in 2022.

"When Holly Sugar and Imperial Sugar owned the factory, they upgraded it to make it bigger and better so we could process more beets, but all that stop...
