What You Need to Know to Save on Fuel Contracting

The leaves are changing colors, temperatures are dropping, and harvest has begun. Autumn has arrived and so too has the time of year when it pays to be thinking of your fuel needs. If you look back at the seasonal cycle of ultra-low sulfur diesel (ULSD) futures on the New […]

Mart Thaxton (center) completed his 42nd harvest this fall. He farms with his sons, Clayton (left) and Keaton (right), near Carlisle, Ark., where they raise corn, soybeans and rice. Photo by Sara Reeves.

As the morning sun crests the horizon, he dumps the collected dirt into his […]

Centralia couple’s innovative solution helps kids around the world Headlines and awards weren’t on Taylor Moreland’s mind that night in August 2018 when he flipped on the lights in his Centralia garage, sat down and began to work. All he was thinking about was how he could help his son, […]

We Live Where You Do
