It’s May, hope you had a “Happy Mother’s Day.” Sympathy to the farmers and ranchers and all who are affected by the 2022 drought.

We all need to pray for rain. Maybe some farmers would like to try different crops. The TV and radio advertise canola oil and you farmers get paid for trying it. Also, t...
