  • No Till Notes: 'Moving forward'

    Mark Watson, Panhandle No Till Educator|Jan 5, 2015

    I feel like we’re at important cross roads with the field pea industry here in our region. We have grown the field pea industry from a grass roots movement to what it is today. Today, we have expanded to 30,000 acres of field peas in our region with the opportunity to grow much larger. We need to continue to develop this industry that will add to the economy of our agricultural community. Field peas don’t really compete with other crops grown in our region as they mostly replace summer fallow acres in our traditional winter wheat/summer fallow...

    Stephen McKay|Jan 5, 2015

    It was a tale of two very different games for the Sidney High Lady Raiders in the Cabela's Holiday Tournament. They mauled the Gothenburg Swedes in the opener, but were bitten hard by the Wheatland (Wyo.) Bulldogs in the championship game. The Raiders (4-5) struggled to get on track against the Bulldogs as they managed just a single field goal in the first 15:59 of the game in the 41-23 loss. Wheatland, a big team with a long history of success in Wyoming, has won state championships as...

  • Sidney captures Cabela's Holiday title

    Stephen McKay|Jan 5, 2015

    When Sidney High's Cutter O'Connell shook the twine from three-point range midway through the fourth quarter of the Cabela's Holiday Tournament championship game on Saturday afternoon, a 28-minute struggle suddenly morphed into a four-minute romp. After a long battle, the Red Raiders pulled away from Chase County, 64-57, to win the Angler's Division of the Cabela's tournament. It was the first time Sidney had claimed a Cabela's crown since 2012. On Friday night, the Raiders smothered Gothenburg...
