Last week, we looked at two of the rotations Dwayne Beck uses on his dry land acres at the Dakota Lakes Research Farm, Pierre, S.D. The first rotation is a simple rotation of cool season grass, warm season grass, and cool season broadleaf. A lot of continuous no till crop producers use this rotation on their farms. We use this rotation of our farm with a rotation of winter wheat, corn, and field pea, then back to winter wheat and repeated. This rotation utilizes two thirds high residue crops which produce enough carbon to the system to...
In September, the District Board of Directors approved the current annual operating budget of $2,959,361. These are the funds the District uses for operating expenses and projects and programs for its current fiscal year, which runs from July 1, 2014, to June 30, 2015. Of that budget, only 44 percent, or $1,312,448, of the funding needed is derived from new property tax, or about 2.5 percent of your total tax bill. Our overall tax asking figure is 5.6777 cents per $100 in valuation, or $56.77 for a $100,000 home. For perspective if you buy,...
The Sidney High volleyball team is currently sitting at 10-20 with an 0-5 record in B district 8 play. This season just hasn't gone the way that head coach Sarah Wilson inteded it to when the first ball was put in play back in September. But none of that matters now. Wilson and the Lady Raiders know they have a clean slate to work with when the district tournament starts Tuesday afternoon in Alliance. Season records and district records go out the window. It's all about the next couple of games...

In what was expected to be a high scoring dogfight between two elite offenses, the Hornets never even showed up. Hanover was held scoreless in the first quarter and Peetz led 38-8 at halftime. The Bulldogs used a balanced attack to fire off their 60 points. Sophomore Cody Wilson led Peetz in rushing with 73 yards on seven carries. Senior quarterback Bra... Full story
Seward High running back Chance Stevenson was just too much for Sidney on Friday night at Concordia University Stadium. He ran for 143 yards and two scores on offense and intercepted two passes on defense as the Bluejays defeated the Red Raiders 24-14 in the first round of the Nebraska Class B playoffs. Sidney certainly didn't help itself with four turnovers – three of them interceptions – as well as a series of short kickoffs that handed the Bluejays free yards on nearly every possession. The R...
Since his arrival in 2010, Sidney High head coach Todd Ekart has always had the luxury of a deep backfield of talented runners. For a man in love with offensive balance, Ekart's running backs over the last four seasons have given him just that. The work of those backfields didn't begin to bear fruit until last season, when Logan Lewis' 2,253-yard and 20-score senior campaign, combined with Chance Anglin's 1,296-yard season led Sidney to the second round of the Class B state playoffs. Coming...
