Upside Down Under: Regina to Minot 250

Northern Celebrations: It’s almost turkey time

For all of the love one glitzy import gets from North Dakota hunters, it almost seems unjust another import doesn’t garner the same amount of affection and attention. Especially considering that less respected import here in North Dakota is so highly revered by hunters virtually everywhere else. We’re talking turkeys here, folks. Admittedly, it seemed […]

For the Farmer

Food Storage

Let's talk food storage   At first blush, talking about food storage may sound hard core prepper, but it's really not. It's hard core common sense.  When preppers talk about food storage, they are usually talking about a long-term food storage made up of MREs and freeze-dried foods that will see them through an end-of-the-world catastrophe.

She’s Not from Around Here 

A casseroler’s take on life in hot dish territory  “Wow, look at all those shades of brown.” The comment was delivered with faux awe from my passenger seat. Her sarcasm was friendly, not fiery.

For the Farmer

Ag Expo Recap “Did you learn anything at the Ag Show?”  A common question to commence the small talk and maybe pry a little if you were not able to make it to Minot any of those three days.  Now that the KMOT Ag Expo in Minot has come and gone, what did you learn?  […]
