ANOTHER VIEW: Remembering a fellow school grad, Utah Sen. Orrin Hatch

By Byron Gilbert |  Our country has lost a senator from a mold that broke long ago. I am remembering U.S. Sen. Orrin Hatch,  a conservative Republican, who was very close friends with U.S. Ted Kennedy.  Imagine that today! The senator came from a time when polar opposites could laugh together and make law together.

ANOTHER VIEW: With war in Ukraine, might be a good time to plant wheat 

By Byron Gilbert |  In the 1970s, I had hair and lived in the small town where I went to college in Ohio (Ohio Wesleyan).  Some of the years I spent working for a 500 watt daytime radio station that carried the Chicago Board and had agriculture shows and middle-of-the-road music.  I could tell you the price of corn, soybeans,  and winter wheat daily. These were the grain crops in the area and pigs and chickens were popular.  Morgan and Arabian horses were bred there. West of town was Select Sires.
