Republican Farmers Turn on Trump: “They’re Voting Democrat” as Farm Costs Soar
A two-time Trump voter rejects him and says farmers he knows are voting Democratic. Rising farm costs expose the gap between Republican promises and rural reality.

Speeding Up to Slow Down
Sometime in the early 1980s, while researching a play, I spent an afternoon talking with a Nebraska State Trooper about the border between local law enforcement and the state patrol. We covered jurisdiction, drugs, homicide, and how causes of death get decided in a county with more cattle than people. By then he had worked those highways for twenty years. He was a careful man with a careful voice, and when the talk turned to death on the road, he lowered it. When you read about a one-car crash that kills the driver on a Nebraska highway in the middle of the night, he said, you are usually reading about a suicide. The car alone, the road empty, the bridge or the embankment at full cruise. […] -

North Dakota Farmer Says Neighbors Are Waking Up to Trump’s Failures
A North Dakota farmer describes neighbors rethinking Trump, women choosing their children’s future, and the need to defend immigrant neighbors.

Population One, All in Favor
The election notice goes up on the tavern wall. That is how the mayoral race begins in Monowi, Nebraska, the only incorporated village in America with a population of one. Elsie Eiler tapes the announcement up inside the Monowi Tavern, the bar she and her husband bought in 1971, and then, as the BBC's filmmakers recorded, she votes for herself. She wins unanimously. She has won every year since the count fell to one, because she is the entire electorate and the entire government: mayor, clerk, treasurer, librarian, and bartender of Monowi, population one.

Rudy’s Library Is Open
The key to the public library in Monowi, Nebraska hangs on the wall of the town's only tavern, within reach of the bartender. Ask and she hands it over. Then the shed a few steps from the bar is yours for the afternoon: five thousand books and magazines, floor-to-ceiling shelves, and a sign painted by grandchildren on the side of an old refrigerator that reads Rudy's Library. There are no library cards and no overdue fines, and there is no librarian at a desk, because the librarian is the woman who just handed you the key. She is also the mayor. You borrow on honor and you return when you can. That is the whole system, and it has held for twenty-two years. […] -
The Neighbor the Census Invented
The 2020 census counted two people in Monowi, Nebraska. The arithmetic surprised the only one of them. Elsie Eiler has lived alone in the village since her husband Rudy died in 2004. She is the mayor, the clerk, the treasurer, the librarian, and the keeper of the Monowi Tavern, the last business open in a town of 0.21 square miles on the far northern edge of the state. When the new census figures came out in August 2021 and showed Monowi's population doubled, she gave the Lincoln Journal Star the only answer a competent count of one allows. "Well, then someone's been hiding from me, and there's nowhere to live but my house. But if you find out who he is, let me know?"

The Silo Remembers the Harvest
From Nebraska to New York, the silos are hollow until hallowed. The elevator starts before the sun does. On a November morning in 2019, I stood by a rail siding in a county-seat town in Nebraska and watched a truck empty itself into the pit while the leg lifted the corn a hundred feet into the headhouse, kernel by kernel, out of sight. What stays with you is the sound. A grain elevator at work has a voice like weather, a steady granular rain inside a concrete throat, and the dust it exhales catches the first light and holds it for a moment above the tracks. The building does one thing a child could explain: it keeps the harvest, standing at the edge of town, taller than the church, the courthouse, and the water tower, doing that one thing for a hundred years. Yet the same word that names this building now names the most despised structure in American institutional life. Say "silo" in a boardroom or a hearing room and the response arrives on reflex: break them down. Somewhere between the rail siding and the hearing room, the container became the crime. […]https://bolesblogs.com/2026/08/29/the-silo-remembers-the-harvest/

Rural broadband is essential infrastructure—but how should we fund it for the long haul?
Should broadband funding be locked into permanent law, or should Congress revisit it with each new farm bill?
What approach makes the most sense for rural communities? 💬

Getting the Flock Out of Ord, Nebraska
The county seat of my boyhood summers just voted, five to nothing, to pull its surveillance cameras off the poles, the first town in Nebraska to do it. The reasons cut deeper than the invoice. Ord, Nebraska sits eleven miles up the North Loup River valley from the village of North Loup, where I spent the summers of my boyhood on my grandfather's place, and in the mental geography of a ten-year-old those eleven miles separated the known world from its capital. North Loup had a few hundred souls, a grain elevator, and Popcorn Days. Ord had the Valley County courthouse with a square built around it, implement lots, storefront commerce enough to dazzle a village kid, and a radio station whose call letters spell the valley itself: K-N-L-V, North Loup Valley, on the air at 1060 since 1965 with farm markets in the morning and high school ball at night. When my grandfather's rooftop antenna strained for television it caught one signal, 10/11 out of Lincoln, and that was the extent of the visible world. Ord was "town." You washed up a little before going. […]https://bolesblogs.com/2026/08/07/getting-the-flock-out-of-ord-nebraska/

Rural America's heartland is breaking, shifting political tides! Paul Krugman reports rural white voters, once strong Trump supporters, now oppose his economic policies. Farmers feel betrayed by tariffs, rising costs, and the Iran war, devastating livelihoods. Bankruptcies surged 46% in 2025; only 32% of rural whites approve President Trump's economic handling.

A silent witness to years of hard work. 🚜🌾 I’ve always been fascinated by the way nature slowly reclaims what we leave behind. The contrast between that deep, crusty rust and the vibrant green field was just too good to miss.

🎭 Funny how election years suddenly create “working hard for Missouri” photo ops. When rural hospitals struggle, small towns fade, and farmers get lip service, voters should ask whether this is leadership… or rebranding season. Missouri deserves more than campaign-stage politics. 🚜

Jesse Jackson could do something most politicians can't even imagine.
He got conservative dirt farmers and inner-city families fighting the same enemy: corporate profiteers running roughshod over us all.
That's not (just) oratory. That's vision. And it's exactly what we need right now.

A transmission tower stands beside trees planted as windbreak near an Iowa farmhouse. Shot from I-80 in January 2021, the scene appears calm—ice, fence, gray sky—but everything here works: the tower collecting data, the trees blocking wind, even my passing camera recording. What looks like stillness is actually a landscape of hidden labor.

The grave looks old but it is one of the younger things in the vicinity of Abó. Nearby, ruins of pueblos occupied by the Tanoans in the 11th Century mingle with ruins of pueblos and Spanish missions from the 15th and 17th Centuries.
