It takes an app and a family to run a farm

by Sorana Stanescu | Sep 9, 2019 | Agriculture, Agriculture and Rural Issues, Global Business, Sustainability

As we spent a couple of days in rural southern Minnesota, the scale and size of what Minnesotans call “an average family farm” surprised me: 180 dairy cattle or 500-acres. In my home country Romania, that is officially considered a large farm. That is a large farm...

It’s a tough time to be a farmer. Last year Minnesota farms earned a median net income of $26,055, down 8%  from the previous year. It was the lowest median farm income in the past 23 years of data tracked by the University of Minnesota. “Agriculture is a very...

The Great Minnesota Get-Together is definitely a unique experience, no matter your age, background or expectations. “All you can drink” milk for $2 (milk is Minnesota’s official state drink), wool on a stick (you can use it to dust) and competitions for the largest...

Old Ely vs New Ely: a mining project divides a small town in Northern Minnesota

by Luján Scarpinelli | Aug 30, 2019 | Agriculture and Rural Issues, Environmental Issues, Politics, Presidential Election

At a gathering in the living room of a cabin hidden in a pine forest, the fracture in Ely’s community of about 3,500 residents is hard to perceive. All the attendees of the potluck – from the woman who brought the pork ribs to the couple with the apple cake – saw the...
