First it was drought. Now rain, hail and worms are impacting Colorado’s biggest crops

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:27:49 GMT

Late summer is prime time for Colorado produce that people look forward to for months and typically the end of the harvest for one of the state’s biggest crops: wheat. This year, though, rain, hail and pest infestations are making for a bumpier-than-usual road to market.Soaking rains held up the harvest of wheat and melons and hail pummeled the plants and produce on the Eastern Plains, while an onslaught by earworms hit as the harvest of Olathe sweet corn got underway on the Western Slope.And while the widespread rains washed away most of Colorado’s drought, farmers abandoned at least 20% of the state’s wheat crop because the strain of the past three dry years meant some plants just didn’t take hold before the moisture could help.On the other hand, in one more example of this season’s wild weather, some wheat growers are pulling in record yields thanks to all the downpours.“Coming into this spring, we ended up actually destroying about 35% (of the...

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:27:49 GMT

By SAM MEDNICK (Associated Press)NIAMEY, Niger (AP) — Insurgents killed 17 soldiers and wounded nearly 24 in the first major attack in half a year against the army in Niger, where Western powers fear a coup by the elite presidential guard last month is weakening a rare ally against jihadi violence in West Africa’s Sahel region. Niger was one of the last democratic countries in the region south of the Sahara and France and the U.S. have about 2,500 military personnel there who were training Niger’s forces. France also conducted joint operations with its former colony, but since the coup Paris and Washington have suspended military operations, giving the jihadis more breathing room. A military detachment was attacked Tuesday afternoon as it moved between the villages of Boni and Torodi in the Tillaberi region, the Ministry of Defense said on state television Tuesday. The wounded were evacuated to the capital, Niamey.It was the first major attack against Niger’s...

Vail man slacklines between 2 hot air balloons in Brazil

Eagle County’s Davis Hermes took his slacklining to a whole new level – 2,300 meters to be exact – but he reached that elevation between two unusual anchor points – hot air balloons.Hermes, who started slacklining after seeing a demonstration at the 2012 GoPro Mountain Games in Vail, has been traveling the world for competitions and to explore new places to slackline. He is the current title holder for the World Championships held in Laax, Switzerland last summer and dazzled viewers by slacklining between Fisher Towers, a pair of iconic rock formations made of sandstone near Moab, Utah in the fall of 2022.As if slacklining between the Fisher Towers, with about 800 feet of direct exposure below, wasn’t enough Hermes has once again achieved a feat almost unimaginable to the rest of us. As crazy as it seems to slackline between two hot air balloons, Hermes said this is not a new idea. Hermes’ friend and fellow slackline competitor, Rafa Bridi of Brazil, did it first along with a few ot...
