My daughters service dog Willoh passed away on Friday from injuries she received in a freak accident on Labor Day at the lake. She was only 8 years old and was a great dog. My daughter saw an ad in the local paper 8 years ago that said give away 9 puppies, mongrels. She asked me what that was...

A guy walked into the Wal Mart about two miles from my house and starts shooting, killing one employee and wounding another then shoots himself. That is not supposed to happen around here. We don't even lock our doors or vehicles in town. I guess he was an airman from the Air...

Seeing the pictures of Indy 500's first trip out west to the mountains reminded me of mine. Almost 48 years ago in April of 1967 we went to Glacier Nat'l Park and rode for a few days. No helmets, backpacks, garden tools, or avy equipment but we made it. I don't think we had any damage either...

We finished the 2014 harvest yesterday afternoon. overall it went very well for them. The corn harvest took 20 days and although we had a couple of short days do to snow and rain we did not have a day off during the corn harvest. In the two and a half months I put on about 17,500 miles on the...

While most of you have a lot of snow on the ground we are still combining corn. It sounds like we should finish up next Wednesday or Thursday. We only received about an inch or two of snow but did get the cold weather. The crew that was tilling the fields had to quit on Wednesday because the...

We have been harvesting corn for about a week now but got snowed out mid morning today. There is sure a lot of wildlife that lives in the corn fields. The combines have kicked out fox, rabbits, squirrels, lots of coyotes, lots of deer, and a couple of moose. Here are some pictures, first an...

We finished soybeans today, edible beans were finished earlier in the week. We have a couple of days off and then start corn (the last crop) on Thursday morning. We have 12,500 acres of corn to do and they told me it should take a little less than 3 weeks if it goes good. Here are some pictures...

Here are some pictures that I took from their website, not ones that I took but that I thought were interesting, the first two are of wheat harvest taken by a drone, the next two are of a harvester in the potato field, and the last one is combing some edible beans.

I have been at it for 3 weeks now. I am still mostly hauling potatoes from St Thomas to Buxton, ND. The St Thomas farm starts their sugar beet pre pile harvest tomorrow, but we don't have any sugar beets in Grand Forks, I don't know if I will help with the beets or not. In Grand Forks we have...

We have been in potatoes again this week but we got shut down yesterday afternoon because it got to warm so I went up north with a hopper bottom, the first picture is the sun setting over a sunflower field, the second one finishing up another quarter of wheat, and the third picture is moving...

I love the all white sleds, the best looking ones out there, they remind me of a 1993 XLT that I owned.

Here is a picture of a potato bin, when full it holds 2,100,000 pounds of potatoes and we have filled a few bins already. I think we are about 10% done in spuds. We have a fuel station at both the Grand Forks and Saint Thomas farms and refuel the trucks every day. If the equipment is in the...

We sold our real estate and closed our business last November and I planned on taking about 4 or 5 months off and then going back to work but enjoyed it so much that I have had the last 9 months off. I am going to work for a large farmer in the area for the harvest season which is very late in...

I saw this on our local news tonight. The fine is not bad for going 96 mph over the limit but it looks like they will be facing other charges also. http://www.wdaz.com/content/three-devils-lake-motorcyclists-cited-going-151-mph-55-mph-zone-near-fort-totten-nd-0
