New Cafe de Klos takes shape exactly as owner envisioned it -- only better
The first time that Gary Dvorak walked through the grassy area behind the façade of what used to be the front of the Vinton American Legion Hall, he envisioned every part of the new Café De Klos Restaurant.

Has the drought left you looking for ways to conserve what little soil moisture you have left? If so, avoid fall tillage.

These practices can minimize soil moisture loss and maximize moisture storage.
