We made it. Happy first anniversary to the Advocate-Messenger family. One year ago, Jenna, Cassidy, Sandy and I were using my dining room table as a desk and took over the Schindler hacienda, creating and putting the pieces together for the inaugural issue. Quite a bit has changed in 12 months: we purchased The Office building in Clearwater, waded through the pandemic, applied for our periodicals postal permit (what an experience!) and have hired a veteran community journalist to join our staff...
One cow on a dairy farm creates a $5,000 economic impact on a local community. Imagine a dairy farm with 500 cows. That's a $2.5 million local economic impact, creating revenue and opportunity. A key component to dairy business success includes Automated Dairy Specialists, LLC, located in Clearwater, Nebraska. ADS has worked to provide high quality technology and equipment to customers in the dairy industry and pride themselves on providing tools to help customers continue being successful in...
On a lazy Saturday afternoon, I slip on my chore boots and head to the farm. They're heavy, caked with mud from the last outing, but required wear for where we are headed. Scott hops in the truck and leads us to a vibrant mecca, a hidden spot loaded with nature's finest food: wild asparagus. He slows the vehicle to a snail's pace, his eyes perched on the driver's side ditch, while I scan the other side. In parts of Antelope, Holt and Wheeler counties, the feral version of asparagus officinalis...

I have loved to read and...
Author Eugene O'Neill, when writing his Dalmatian's last will and testament, wrote, "Dogs ... do not ruin their sleep worrying about how to keep the objects they have, and to obtain the objects they have not. There is nothing of value they have to bequeath except their love and their faith." For 12 years, our chocolate lab, Copper, freely gave her love and showed faithfulness, especially to the master of our house. Copper crossed the rainbow bridge over the weekend, entering doggy heaven, where...

It’s late Sunday evening, the wind sounds like a freight train racing through town, and when I glance out the front door, I cannot tell if it is still snowing or if it’s simply blowing what snow already has landed. Scott is stranded at the farm. He tried to make the drive home, but after a mile, the pickup slammed into a drift. Thank God for cell phones and Dad, who brought a tractor to extract the vehicle. Farmers and ranchers never get to experience snow days. Livestock need to be fed and che...
