They say that hindsight is 20/20, and as we look back at 2020 we can clearly see a tumultuous year marked by a pandemic, shutdowns and political division. The work of farmers and ranchers across the United States continued through it all, and High Plains Journal shared their stories in 2020.

Trent Loos played Tom Gardner in "The Stand at Paxton County."
Our No. 1 story of the year was a Loos Tales column, âThe Stand at Paxton County.â Trent Loos played the role of Tom Gardner in the movie of the same name, which Loos said is âinspired by the story of the Dassinger Ranch in Stark County, North Dakota, and how animal rights organizations work with local authorities to remove animals from their owners.â The film is available on Netflix.
