For many people, Thursday's Co-Op Day at the Fair entails a momentary stop at the sponsor tent for a complimentary root beer float- and an equally hasty return to other Fair-afternoon happenings. However, this day has more behind it than simply a free cooldown for fairgoers. The event was set in motion in 2000 by Kelly Knaff of the Lower Yellowstone Rural Electric Association, one of the seven original co-ops which contributed to the day. Other members include Richland Federal Credit Union,...

(BPT) - Summer's here and it's the perfect time for the family to hit the road ... off-road, that is. From Connecticut to California, there are scenic off-road trails of all varieties - rock, sand, dirt, water and mud - that are ideal for a family off-road excursion.

When trying to find solutions to horticultural-related problems, it is important to remember that recommendations and advice given on the internet do not always translate into real, practical solutions. To demonstrate my point, here are a couple of scenarios and the fallacies associated with each. Scenario 1-A person is interested in starting an orchard and wants to learn how to successfully grow apples in Montana. So, this person goes to a popular search engine and types in the phrase "growing...

Given the amount of snow we received this winter and the fact that it remained piled up for a long time, usually on the lawn, I figured I would dust off this article with some identification, control, and prevention tips. It is difficult to describe exactly what snow mold is but the best way for me to describe it is that it's a mysterious, almost web-like substance on top of the grass. It is typically more prominent in areas where there is more snow piled up. Snow mold is a fungal disease that...

"But this is our forever home and we want it to be right." The home is still under...
During the Dec. 21 winter solstice, the sun takes a brief respite on the Tropic of Capricorn at 23.5 degrees south latitude. Over the next six months, it journeys north for a June 21 rendezvous with the Tropic of Cancer at 23.5 degrees north latitude. En route, on about March 20, for one brief moment it touches its rays directly over the equator, declaring the spring equinox. In Montana, this pronouncement is merely a promise of something to come, as March's third week usually finds us yet deep...

How many times do you encounter food in some form on a daily basis? As I drive to and from work, I see several restaurants, convenience stores and billboards. I'm glad I have breakfast before I leave for work or I might not be able to resist temptation. If I happen to be listening to the radio, I might hear an ad for a food or beverage. If I am hungry after work, I could be tempted to call off cooking duty and buy take-out food. While I peruse websites looking for information, food ads pop up...

A few years ago at a County-wide conference there were some citizens in attendance who wanted to have a place to grow vegetables for those who lived in apartments/campers/or houses with no backyard to do so. These citizens decided that a Community Garden would be the best possible solution to address this situation. The County Commissioners happened to be at the conference as well and decided that, of all of the issues that were raised at the conference, the Community Garden idea was one that...
