The wolf situation in Colorado is at the point where commonsense needs to prevail. Has the reintroduction of wolves made the lives of a person or species better? Maybe it has and I haven’t heard...

The power of prayer shouldn’t be underestimated

It is true that we take things for granted — and they are sorely missed when we don’t have them. Take email, for example. These are not the words of our computer experts, but gremlins...

When I read the news about News Media Corp. closing 14 newspapers in Wyoming, seven in Illinois, five in Arizona, four in South Dakota and one in Nebraska, it made my heart hurt. When I...

I’m not sure what to think about the U.S. Department of Agriculture reorganization plan. In case you haven’t heard Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins announced last week that the agency will vacate several Washington, D.C., buildings...

I personally am a fan of nuclear power. However, there is clearly some work to be done by developers and the industry itself to insure that nuclear waste can be safely stored or repurposed. Until...

I like many of The Fence Post readers bear no ill will to our neighbors to the north — the Canadians. But there is a reason that we must negotiate trade agreements with them and...

After reading in The Fence Post that I had moved to Cheyenne, Wyo., I got an invitation from Carole Goertz to attend the monthly meeting of the Laramie County Cattlewomen’s meeting.     I was thrilled...

I spent Tuesday and Wednesday morning at the Colorado Farm Show, and as always I got to visit with many of our faithful readers. Thank you all who stopped to chat or just to give...

I hope all of you had a blessed Christmas and have a happy New Year. I had a wonderful Christmas here in Cheyenne, but it wasn’t a white Christmas. So, I’m going to hope for...

The U.S. Department of Agriculture is going to start testing bulk raw milk for bird flu on Nov. 1. I read this in a Reuters story posted on Oct. 30. Maybe it’s just me but...

The latest political news in farm country is that former President Donald Trump’s proposed tariffs, should he be elected president, would hurt the farm economy. A new economic study commissioned by the American Soybean Association...
