August of 2020 was dry by even normal standards in Broadus, with a scant .27" of rain falling during the month. When combined with the previous dry months, 2020 has drawn ominously close to a dubious record – that of low precipitation.

This year, the total was 4.97". 1988 turned out to be the d...

Wheeler Center and the Montana Governor’s Office on Rural Development, is a statewide conversation and educati...

On the early winter morning of January 16, 1927, Charley Flory got on his horse and left his homestead on Anderson Creek near Decker in Southeastern Big Horn County, Montana. He was headed to the house of his father-in-law, E.T. Ostrum, who coincidently also went by the name "Charley." The sixty-five-year-old Ostrum worked as a ditch-digger and was an immigrant from Sweden. The 35-mile trip at a horse-friendly pace would take two days during cold winter weather with at least one river crossing....
