Posted @ 10:57 am by EvanA beautiful time of the year
Posted @ 4:24 pm by Evanas we’re starting to get that golden glow from the trees turning colors.
Harvest of many crops continues in full swing. Yields have been good overall, thanks to irrigation here in the West.
The Harvest Now In Full Swing
Posted @ 7:50 pm by EvanChoping corn, threashing beans, digging potatoes, putting up hay, picking peaches to name a few of the crops being harvested.
Flying our Mooney 252 over some of our broadcast coverage areawith irrigated circles of green alfafa & the contrasting gold fields of stubble and standing grain, in Colorado to Idaho.
Prices running $20 to 30 cwt. above a year ago at the Sales we have attended at Ogallala, Western Video Market and the Superior Livestock Video sales.
We get “out and about” for first hand coverage.
Till next time, “all the best”.
It’s County & State Fair Month
Posted @ 3:28 pm by EvanThis is an excellent time for folks to get together and check up the on the news around the area and see the youngsters show and sell their animals. I stopped by the Weld County fair on my way to Cheyenne for Frontier Days. Plan to cover additional county fairs as well as the Wyoming and Colorado State Fairs.
The winter wheat harvest here on the Central High Plains turned out better than many had expected, nevertheless we were down about a third with yields averaging in the 40s North of I70 up into Nebraska and Southeast Wyoming.
In Florida for the National Beef Cattlemen’s Association and the Cattlemen Beef Board Summer Conference in Kissimmee. I took away the plans and hopes to cooperate and coordinate more closely. Yes,there was sweetness and light.
We’re off to Yuma, for the Colorado IRF show, and then to Sheridan for the Superior Livestock Video auction.
In Cheyenne, last week for the Western Video Livestock Auction with cattle and calves selling $20 to $30 a cwt. above last year. Yes, the market is HIGHER, HIGHER.
Till next time, all the best.

Evan asked that I post this for him. It’s Chuck again. Evan was gracious enough to fly me to Kansas City from Denver after the Cattle Industry Summer Conference.
We ran around some clouds and “weather” on the way to Kansas City. One of the choices as we got near Salina, KS was north or south. We went south and it was the right decision. I think that’s an experienced pilot’s instinct kicking in.
One thing is for sure. You get a much better view than on a commercial airline. You also get to help out the pilot when he needs something from the back seat. While we were winding through the clouds I made a short video clip.
I didn’t think you wanted to hear the engine noise so I added a part of one of Evan’s interviews he did at the Cattle Industry Summer Conference from his Friday midday show.
