Welcome to TALE$

Howdy!

I'm Thayne Cozart, but much better known by my pseudonym "Milo Yield" to readers of my mostly-humorous weekly syndicated columns "Laugh Tracks in the Dust" and "Viewing the Field by Milo Yield."

I operate as a one-man business -- Thought and Laugh Enterprise$, better known as TALE$, My business slogan is "Thoughtful Bull, Tastefully Slung" -- and I make every effort to live up to that high standard.

For 50 years, since 1974, I've written my weekly column about the funnier side of farming, ranching, agribusiness and rural life in an effort to bring a smile each week to the fine folks who grow food as a profession (mostly without thanks, too often without profit), and to those who appreciate the agrarian lifestyle. Someone once told me, "There ain't nuthin' funnier than what can happen farming" -- and I have to agree.

Until June of 2009, I dovetailed writing my columns with personal appearances to entertain rural groups throughout the U.S. and Canada. But, I've passed the "lots of travel" stage of my career, so now I just write my columns from the peace and solitude of my little acreage -- Damphewer Acres -- in the famous Flint Hills of Kansas, just outside of Riley, Kansas, a small town 15 miles northwest of Manhattan, Kansas. "Milo" enjoys the place with his long-suffering wife, "Nevah Yield."
