Did you know - We have been using leafy spurge beetles for 20 years at Glenharold Mine (reclaimed coal mine by Leland Olds Station near Stanton) to control leafy spurge, in place of herbicides in most places. Better for native flowers, bees, butterflies, and the environment! #agchat #ndlegendary #coalmine #reclamation #bees #leafyspurge #weedcontrol #noxiousweed
The crew making the magic! Thanks, cooperative cadets! #gocoop #mandan4thparade @touchstoneenergy

Hello,
We here at No Starch Press just published “The Manga Guide to
Electricity” by Kazuhiro Fujitaki. A translation from the bestselling
series in Japan, this book uses authentic manga and real-world examples
to make learning electricity engaging, charming, and fun. We noticed
that you are interested in and write about electricity quite a bit.
Would you be interested in a review copy of “The Manga Guide to
Electricity”?
Thanks,
Travis

I am J,P. Rinker, and am a director of Midland Power Cooperative located in Jefferson, Iowa. I wore my Basin Electric hat ( courtesy of BEC director Charlie Gilbert }, to the recent ISU-KU football game in Ames, Iowa. I was approached by a woman who said ” whats up with the Basin hat? I haven`t
seen anything about Basin since I lived in Denver.”
She did`nt know that BEC supplied power to such a large area. I enjoy the Basin Update. Keep up the good work!
