When you raise cattle, it's tough to get a weekend away. But Roscoe farmer Lane Forkel and his wife, Lindsey, said the South Dakota Farmers Union Young Producers Event was worth it. "There's so many things that you think you know, but nothing beats bouncing ideas off other farm families to hear what has worked for them," explains Lindsey, who works off the farm as a Loan Specialist for BankNorth in Warner. Lane agrees, adding that the speakers covered timely topics. "All the presenters were...
I guess that the Brown County fairgrounds indeed received some rain during the fair, especially on Sunday. But as the case with thunderstorms they can and do produce some adverse effects and this time it turned out to be really strong wind gusts that apparently caused some damage there.

Hard work pays dividends in any high school varsity sport, but this is particularly true in cross country. And 10 Ipswich girls' varsity runners have already been busy during pre-season practice sessions, along with six IHS varsity boys. That Tiger girls' roster lists just two senior girls, Chloe Jager and Makala DeRaad and there is a lone varsity senior boy, Taylor Thorson. But each team returns a lot of firepower and varsity experience. (The Ipswich girls indeed placed third in the 2020 State...

Ipswich showed that early on by forcing a Lion punt attempt. It was blocked, giving the Tigers the ball at the Lions’ 20 for the Tigers’ first red-zone scoring opportunity. The short drive was capped by a Luke Peterson three-yard run and Ian Beyers pas...
