Hi, here I am again. Continued from last time: The Kiesz Children. Farm life for Gordon and Virgil was hard. The Kiesz family usually did everything by themselves. Never used extra help except during harvest when one person was usually needed to help out. Of course there were years when the crop consisted of one - two bushels per acre, when extra help was not needed. It was the early 1930's, the depression was still on. Virgil and Gordon milked cows and cared for them, cleaned the barn, collected the manure inside, outside...

Here I go again. I wasn’t able to go to the Chamber Banquet Saturday. I can pretty much guarantee that no one would have wanted me there. I was assured by my spouse that it was a wonderful event; that the food was excellent and the program was entertaining. I still feel guilty, because I was supposed to be there. Fortunately, my very good friends Clark and Charlene Kagele were willing to change their weekend plans at the last minute so that Clark could fill in for me as M...

Egypt bought some U.S. and Canadian wheat in a surprise overnight tender, and Iran showed up on the export sales report again this week with a couple million more bushels of HRW. White wheat sales were...
