Many Colorado farmers are implementing some of the latest-and-greatest production methods, aimed at improving efficiency on their farms, protecting natural resources, and enhancing air and water quality. Now we want to honor the producers taking these efforts to new heights.

One of our most popular features from the past 15 years - a full-page color photo on the front of the Kiowa County Press showing various impressions of life in Kiowa County. While a limited number of copies continue to be printed and distributed each week at Kiowa Healthmart, COOP C-Store in Eads, Haswell Propane, and Thunderbird Petroleum, we wanted to bring this feature to our online readers as well.

The first full week of November has been relatively seismically active in Colorado, with four earthquakes recorded within the state, and one just over the southern border in New Mexico.

The New Mexico quake, centered west of Raton, occurred late Saturday night and measured 3.1 on the Richter Scale. The area is about 90 miles south of Pueblo.

We want to thank everyone who called, sent cards and prayers to our family after the loss of our mother. We especially would like to thank the United Methodist Women who prepared a wonderful meal.  We will miss her terribly but it is comforting to know that she is back in Eads with so many friends.
