    NEWS FLASH: Drought ends at Ponderosa

    Some of my farmer friends are not able to cut their milo because it won't dry down. They are waiting for a hard freeze to help them, but for the next ten days the low temperatures are forecast to be 45-50 degrees. There is a chance of rain on Monday morning, which would help the planted wheat. I...

    NEWS FLASH: Drought ends at Ponderosa

    Yesterday was brutal, high winds and blowing dust. Good subsoil moisture but powder dry on the surface. I planted my winter wheat three weeks ago and buried the seed deep to reach some moisture. It is up, but could sure use a rain to settle the powdery surface between the rows and keep it from...

    Certainly not used to this, but it can change without warning. I'll take it while I can.

    Sorry to hear that. Hopefully it will change for the better. I don't remember the last time I was your way. Just not on my travel route anymore. Hoping you have a great fall.

    Midwest Pheasant Harvest - 24 Seasons

    I would sure like to see the 60's and 70's for Kansas. I remember the early 60's when the limit increased to five total with the option of one hen in the five.

    Kansas harvest the lowest ever in 2023 at 227,000, except 2013 at 190,000 . This is sad. Terrible downward trend.

    Solar Farms = Habitat Destruction ?

    I have a Stihl Kombi and various attachments(string trimmer, pole saw, edger and blower) for it. It is a 4 stroke. It has performed very well. Took it in after one year of use for the recommended setting of the valves. The blower is my favorite to use to blow the grass(can be about 8" deep) off...

    NEWS FLASH: Drought ends at Ponderosa

    Had that nice rain on August 1st, then the little shower on the 10th. Other than that we have been really hot and dry. A chance of rain on Thursday. Dodge City is above average on rainfall and, I think, the only weather bureau in SW Kansas above normal. I have seen some really outstanding...

    Solar Farms = Habitat Destruction ?

    Some of you are familiar with Dodge. You will notice on the map the location of Hilmar Cheese Plant(I think it is either just starting operation or ready too). They are a California company. Over the last ten years or so the California dairies have come to the area and bought up irrigated...
