Sheriff issues burn ban reminder
Posted by Guymon Community Representative, Debbie Browning at 9:26am
“Texas County is still under a governor’s burn ban and, even with yesterday’s wonderful rain, fireworks are still prohibited and we will enforce that law,” Texas County Sheriff Arnold Peoples said today.
The drought has gone for a year or more with very little moisture and it will take much more rain to make our area safe enough to be released from the burn ban, he explained.
Under Title 2 Section 16-26 of the Oklahoma Statute, anyone who violates the burn ban is guilty of a misdemeanor crime and can be punished by up to $1,000 fine or up to 1 year in the county jail or both. In addition, they can be held civilly liable for any property damage caused by a fire and all costs associated with putting […]
Let’s all pro-ag at YouTube

First, it was the beef industry with the Beef Ambassadors. Then the porkindustry headed for YouTube, and now the Animal Agriculture Alliance has caught the wave.
The Animal Agriculture Alliance launched two videos on YouTube, a popular website with a huge impact on today’s social culture, where almost anyone can share videos. The first Alliance video focuses on the importance of moderation and balance in making dietary choices. It suggests talking to a dietician or nutritionist about a balanced diet and warns against adopting diets based on political causes or trends. The second video points out that more than 90 percent of America’s farms and ranches are family-owned. It also explains farmers and ranchers commitment to their animals, their land and their community.
The videos feature Brad Johnson — who grew up […]

Hwy 54 re-opens
Posted by Guymon Community Representative, Debbie Browning at 9:35pm
The Hinchey Ford sign and the power lines that fell onto Hwy 54 have been cleared. The road is now open but power to a small section of Guymon in that immediate area remains off. As soon as the lightning subsides, Tri-County will work to restore power to that area.
Let’s hear it for the people — city crews and Tri-County — who worked during this nasty storm to clear the roadway of debris and downed power lines!
Hwy 54 temporarily closed
Posted by Guymon Community Representative, Debbie Browning at 9:08pm
Hwy 54 is closed temporarily because high winds snapped the Hinchey Ford sign which then fell onto the roadway and took power lines with it.
Anybody else notice that our rain now comes with hail or high winds or a dangerous thunderstorm and usually all of the above?
