Cowhy, along with the

Lakestone to
give pay raises
TRI-CITY AREA —
Lakestone Bank & Trust
announced last week that
employees will benefit
from the recently
announced tax reform law.
Bruce J. Cady,
Chairman and CEO of
Lakestone Bank & Trust
said, “We are very appre-
ciative of all Lakestone
Bank & Trust employees
and certainly what they
have accomplished over the
years, particularly the last
year; and we want to com-
memorate the passing of
this historic, economy-
stimulating tax reform law.
This is a once in a lifetime
opportunity and we know
we want to reinvest much
of the savings back into our
Bank and the first place we
are going to put it is into the
hands of our employees.
Employees are our most
important asset.”
All hourly employees
received a $1 per hour raise
and all salaried employees
will receive a $1,000 bonus.
The Bank’s board of direc-

3rd Degree Burns Young Musicians Community helps foster young people’s musical skills, along with achieving acceptance and leadership skills.

3rd Degree Burns kicks off season on Feb. 17

Fundraiser supports Young Musicians Community
By Tom Wearing
twearing@pageone-inc.com
TRI-CITY AREA —
The 11th Annual Young
Musicians Community
Fundraiser concert, featur-
ing 3rd Degree Burns, is
Saturday, Feb. 17 at
Davison High School
Auditorium,
Doors open at 5 p.m.,
with a 6 p.m. performance
by 3rd Degree Burns as the
kickoff for the band’s
‘Future of Rock & Roll’
Concert Tour 2018. The
concert runs through 9
p.m.
In addition to the live
music, attendees can par-
ticipate in a silent auction,
Chinese Raffle and a 50/50
raffle.
Event producer Gary
Burns said two $500 pre-
paid Visa credit cards will
be raffled off, which if
shipped are insured by
USPS.
3rd Degree Burns was
founded by Gary Burns,
who also started the Young
Musicians Community
(YMC), a local non-profit
organization that helps
kids learn to play in a band
and develop their skills as
musicians. The young
musicians may participate
at no cost.
Burns describes the
band as a dynamic, talent-
ed and versatile unit,
whose energy and stage
performances please any
and every audience.
In the summer of 2017,
the band performed 17
shows, both locally and
throughout the state of
Michigan.
Though playing great
rock n’ roll is the group’s
priority, Burns says 3rd
Degree Burns also serves
as a model for young adults
wishing to develop leader-
ship skills and to achieve
acceptance.
“Acceptance through
God’s gift of music, to
break down the social bar-
riers of race, gender, age,
handicap and income,”
says Burns. “Band mem-
bers leave the program able
to stand up against social
barriers and to accept each
other for the qualities each
of them possess.”
Burns says the Feb. 17
fundraiser is crucial to pro-
viding the funds needed to
continue moving the pro-
gram forward; as ambassa-
dors of music and giving
back to the community.
Those unable to attend
the show but wanting to
donate to the cause, may
make a tax-deductible
donation to YMC, Young
Musicians Community,
501(c)3 status.
Go to www.y-m-c.org
and scroll to the bottom
and click on donation.
There is a secured
PayPal account where we
see only your name, email
address, amount and con-
firmation.
“If you leave any notes
at all, type ‘Donation Only,’
says Burns. “If any other
words are typed your dona-
tion will be refused and we
will have to start again.”
All monies from fund-
raiser and donations go
toward funding student
scholarships, concert per-
formances, new equipment,
instrument repairs, trans-
portation and advertising
supplies.
Donations are accepted
at the fundraiser and any
time during the year. Visit

‘The Whatabouts’ to take stage on February 10
LAPEER — If you
loved the sounds of The
Supremes or long to hear
your favorite song from
The Ronettes, look no fur-
ther than The Whatabouts,
who will take center stage
at the PIX on Sat., Feb. 10
at 7:30 p.m.
The Whatabouts have

and ‘what about that?’ kept
coming into discussion,”
Crismer says in the press
release. “Kelly said, ‘How

Deb. “You never know
what they will be wearing
at their next gig,” Crismer

of music that inspire her in
one way or another.

Melissa Zellers said the
troop is comprised of 19
sixth- and seventh-grade
girls from Almont, Dryden
and Attica. Lisa Hartman
is the troop’s co-leader..
After welcoming and
seating the attendees, the
participating Girl Scout
Cadettes collected their
guests’ dinner orders and
delivered them to their
tables, along with dessert
and choice of beverage.
After dinner, the still-
energized Cadettes
stepped up to the stage and
vocalized on some old-
fashioned love songs per-
fect for Valentine’s Day.
Among the musical
selections were “Bicycle
Built for Two,” “You Are
My Sunshine,” “Don’t Sit
Under the Apple Tree,”
and the Elvis Presley clas-
sic, “Love Me Tender.”
Among those enjoying
the festivities were Fred
and Paulette Hakim of
Washington Township who
praised the girls for their
enthusiasm and great ser-
vice.
“The food tastes great
and you can’t beat the
price,” said Fred. “It was a
very nice gesture on the
part of the girls and they

Zellers was pleased
that so many senior citi-

enormous power and if

instance, we have what is
referred to as the “kiss of
peace,” also known as Pax,
which is the mutual greet-
ing of the faithful during
Mass as a sign of their
union with Christ. Some
people merely shake hands,
while others engage in
hugging and kissing.
Although I understand the
significance of the act, I
think that during flu season
this practice should be
abandoned and some
Catholic Dioceses are
allowing the temporary
discontinuation of the prac-

nice smile to convey one’s
feelings to others which I
think should become more
widespread. Currently I am

a severe cold and cough.
During that time I did not

had the courtesy to not

That was another of

She also made many

dence did the FBI have to
justify seeking a warrant
from the Foreign
Intelligence Surveillance
Court? Was it solely, or
partially based upon the
totally unverified accusa-
tions in the Steele dossier?
It is a fair conclusion that if
the FBI found it necessary
to rely upon a dossier that
it knew was paid for by a
political campaign and
unverified it didn’t have
the real goods to get the
search warrant.

gage would be appropriate.
I suspect that renowned
germaphobe Howie
Mandel could add to this
list and if you are a Seinfeld
fan, there is a whole epi-
sode devoted to germa-
phobes—“The Apology.”
So here are my admo-
nitions:
• If you are coughing
and sputtering and either
have the flu or flu symp-
toms, stay home.
• If you decide to attend
church services and are
sick, consider sitting in the
back rows away from
everyone. Candidly, I think
the Good Lord will give
you a pass during your ill-
ness, so once again, stay
home.
• If you go to work with
these symptoms, don’t
expect anyone to greet you
with a smile.
• And if you encounter
me at church or in public,
don’t expect me to shake
your hand. Just wait for my
engaging smile.

Building bridges for better future
Editor’s note: The fol-
lowing guest column was
submitted by Ryan
Johnson, Chair of the
Platform and Issues
Committee of the St. Clair
County Democrats at St.
Clair Community College
in Port Huron. He may be

T he People’s Platform:
Building Bridges from
our Past to a Better Future,
the new platform for the
St. Clair County
Democrats, has a central
idea—the call for true jus-
tice in all of its forms. We
believe that American his-
tory has a strong but
unheralded progressive
streak. During the
Revolutionary period the
phrase “no taxation with-
out representation”
expressed the idea that
people should have a say
in how their government
operates. In the decades
before the Civil War pro-
gressive activists, appalled
by the conditions of slav-
ery, formed abolitionist
groups and the

If not, why not?
Did the wiretaps pro-
duce anything that would
permit numerous renewals
of the authority to spy on
Carter Page? Not likely
because the way Washington
leaks like a sieve we’d have
heard something in the past
18 months.
How should citizens
react if the FBI actively
worked to promote one
political candidate over
another? Did it do so? Isn’t
it important that we, as citi-
zens, know the answer?
There are few, if any,
greater powers given to the
FBI than being permitted to
spy upon United States citi-
zens; to tap their phones,
read their mail, and monitor
their email and their texts.
With that power comes
great responsibility that
such power should never be
abused nor used for any
political purpose and when

Relay kick off Feb. 13
We have been busy
planning this year’s Relay
for Life event. The official
kick off is Tuesday, Feb.
13 at the Imlay City VFW
Hall.
We are grateful that
they are graciously letting
us use their hall. In turn
for everyone that attends,
please bring a nonperish-
able food item for our vets
that have fought for our
freedom.
What is a kick off you
may ask? It’s a way for the
event leaders to spread the
word on what Relay is all
about and hopefully
inspire more people to
start their own team or join
an existing one.
Many of you have
inquired what is Relay for
Life. Relay for Life is a
life-changing event that
brings together more than
3.5 million people across
the world to celebrate the
lives of those who have
battled cancer, remember
loved ones lost to the dis-
ease, and fight back. We
Relay because we have
been touched by cancer
and desperately want to
put an end to the disease.
We do this by forming
teams that have different
fundraisers to raise money
for the American Cancer
Society.
We camp out at the
Eastern Michigan State
Fairgrounds in Imlay City
overnight June 9-10, and
walk around the track.

Underground Railroad to
help slaves achieve the
ideal of “life, liberty, and
the pursuit of happiness.”
In the late 19th and
early 20th centuries suf-
fragettes like Susan B.
Anthony and Elizabeth
Cady Stanton worked
toward a progressive
vision of a United States in
which women could vote
and thereby have a politi-
cal voice for the first time.
Later on in the 1960s Dr.
Martin Luther King Jr. and
the Civil Rights activists
dreamed of a society in
which character mattered
more than skin color, in
which equality was pro-
moted, and in which
minorities also had a polit-
ical voice through the abil-
ity to vote. Environmental
activists then took the pro-
gressive baton, and
inspired by Rachel
Carson’s Silent Spring
began pushing the United
States to become a leader
in protecting the only plan-
et on which we have to
live. More recently we’ve
witnessed a progressive
movement to defend the
and honest information.
I want to know if the
FBI, or some of its leaders,
abused their powers. It
doesn’t matter that you may
think Donald Trump is unfit
for the office of President.
If an arm of the Justice
Department can be used
against any political candi-
date it is a threat to every
political candidate. This
time it might be your adver-
sary who is the subject of
the abuse but the next time
it might be you.
Read the memorandum.
When published, read the
Democratic version. Just
remember that your focus
should be solely on whether
the FBI abused the FISA
process. If it did then heads
should roll and persons of
every political persuasion
should support those
involved being brought to
justice. It is too important
to the continuance of our
nation as a democracy to
ignore this situation or to
let it degrade into partisan
bickering.

rights and liberties of the

From our country’s
very beginnings, then,
there have been progres-
sives who have sought to
make America live up to
the lofty ideals expressed
in founding documents like
the Declaration of
Independence and the
Constitution.
The St. Clair County
Democrats are proud to
take up that progressive
mantle and continue the
struggle for a more just,
free, and equal society
with a platform inspired by
America’s past and dedi-
cated to a better future.
Our platform has planks
concerning economic jus-
tice, including our belief
that rebuilding infrastruc-
ture is the road forward,
that we should champion
our local entrepreneurs,
that we must work toward
a livable wage for all
workers, that we must con-
tinue to support organized
labor and all it does for
America’s laborers, and
Step up our game
R ecalculating, as Gertie,
the voice on our GPS
would be saying about
now. I’ve been told that the
date I gave you last week
for the Imlay City
Christian School Benefit
Auction at Castle Creek
is Saturday, April 21
instead of the 28th due to a
scheduling conflict. Be
sure to make that change
on your calendar,
and watch for
other details to
come.
Now that that
bit of business is
taken care of, I’d
like to share a
prayer from the
devotional Mike Perspectives...
and I are reading
together this Willene Tanis
month. It was
written by Dr. Reginald
Smith, director of our
denomination’s Offices of
Race Relations and Social
Justice. He has also pas-
tored inner city churches in
Chicago and Grand Rapids.
The following is part of the
prayer he writes to go with
this from Luke: “To you
who are listening I say,
‘Love your enemies, do
good to those who hate
you.’”
“Father God, may our
minds no longer nurse our
grudges and rehearse our
Propane tank not included in sale
Alex,
I purchased a foreclo-
sure home and now the
propane company that
had their tank on the
property is telling me
that I have to purchase
propane from them or
they will remove the
tank. I thought when I
bought the home that it
would include the pro-
pane tank and thus I can
then buy propane from
anyone.
— H.C., North Branch
H.C., A propane tank is not
considered a fixture
attached to the land and
thus is not included in a
real estate sale unless spe-
cifically stated as such in
the purchase agreement. It
can only be included if the
owner you purchased it
from actually owned the
propane tank, which most
don’t. Whomever owns the
tank can set the rules for
who can fill it. They all
require their leased tanks
to only be filled with their
propane. The tanks them-
selves just sit on blocks on
top of your grass. Since
they are not fixed to the
land, it was not part of the
purchase when you closed
on your home. I also live
in an area not serviced by
natural gas and have to use
propane as well. My
that every American
stable job.
The People’s Platform
also contains planks call-
ing for social justice, such
as a recognition that wom-
en’s rights are human
rights, a demand to respect
and support minority voic-
es, and a call to be allies
and advocates for our
LGBTQ family and friends
so that all Americans, and
not just a certain group of
them, receive a political
voice and a basic recogni-
tion of their humanity.
The St. Clair County
Democrats are also con-
cerned with educational
and environmental justice,
expressed by our belief
that investing in public
K-12 education is a wise
investment that will yield
tremendous benefits for
our community. We also
strongly feel that making
higher education more
accessible is a key compo-
nent of creating a better

scenes of hurt and pain,

granted to us in Jesus...
Help us to follow you,
Lord, Amen.”
Bottom line, according
to Pastor Reggie, is this:
To those of us who claim
to be under the Lordship of
Jesus Christ, we’re going
to have to step up our
game. It’s easy enough to
love someone who
loves us back, but
this kind of love is
crazy and radical.
The secret
is in the focus.

talking about over-
looking the very
evils he advocates
against. He’s talk-
ing about looking

The One who carried the
hurts and injustices we’ve
experienced—carried them
all the way to the cross.
He’s talking about the hard
work of leaving them
there. He’s talking about
the profound love He has
now deposited in your
heart. Amazing love—in
spite of anything we have
done. A love that has for-
given us and which is
meant to be passed along.

advice to you is to shop
around almost every year.
Many propane companies
offer price discounts to
new customers. They will
also install their new tank
on your property for free
with a one-year contract. If
you switch companies, the
old company will also
come and remove their old
tank for free. There is no
downside to you other than
a bit of a hassle meeting
technicians there every
year to install a new tank.
I am not sure why these
companies have policies
that give price breaks to
new customers but not
existing ones. I try to take
advantage of it when I can.
For example, I used one
company for one year and
then the next year when I
was ready to sign another
contract they told me that
the price would be $1.69
but if I was a new custom-
er they would allow me to
sign a full year contract at

tomorrow. Likewise, if we
wish to have a healthy
environment and plentiful
natural resources in the
future we must take action
now to protect them so that
our children can live in a
world with clean air and
water.
The People’s Platform:
Past to a Better Future rec-
ognizes that without justice
there can be no freedom.
You aren’t free in this
nation if your right to vote
is being hindered, if you
don’t have a genuine
opportunity to go to col-
lege, if you can’t swim in
the local river because it’s
too polluted, or if your job
pays you such a pittance
you can’t afford even the
most basic necessities of
life.
If you’re ready to join
the progressive struggle for
justice in all of its forms
please join the St. Clair
County Democrats on
Monday, February 12th at
6:30 p.m. in the Bluewater
Convention Center in Port
Huron for our next general
membership meeting when
we unveil our new plat-
form.

and then have even more
fun. Fitting advice from a
woman who found a way
to get through the loss of
our dad—the love of her
life—and all the curve
balls life threw at her.
She was strong and
devout in her Catholic faith
and love for her family.
She leaves a legacy of
strength, love and lightness
of being unmatched by
anyone.
Anna Maria Minolli,
86, passed away on
January 29. She was the
eldest daughter of Umberto
and Virgilia (Leopardi)
Rossi, and sister of the late
Lena Ciatti and Rino
Rossi. She was married to
the late Francesco ‘Frank’
Minolli for 59 years, and is
dearly missed and mourned
by her daughters Roseann,
Catherine, Dawn and
Virginia, as well as her
grandkids and many oth-
ers.
Her gifts were many,
the loss so great. She was
one of a kind, and we are
beyond blessed to have had
her in our lives.

In Memory Of
PAUL HOLDWICK
February 19, 1976 to February 9, 2008
As I sit in heaven
and watch you every day
I try to let you know with signs
I never went away
I hear when you are laughing
And watch as you sleep
I even place my arms around you
To calm you as you weap
I see you wish the days away
Begging to have me home
So I try to send you signs, So you know, you are not alone
Don’t feel guilty that you have life that was denied to me
Heaven is truly beautiful, just you wait and see
So live your life, laugh again, enjoy yourself, be free
Then I know with every breath you take
You’ll be taking one for me
Always in out hearts,
Mom, Dad, Mike, Steve & Lana

Almont High School students gathered en masse in the high school’s auditorium to hear some of
the potential pitfalls of improper use of the internet and social media.
Lessons: Officials warn kids of online dangers
from page 1-A
employers, colleges, par-
ents or anyone come across
inappropriate images, it
could damage one’s reputa-
tion and squelch opportuni-
ties now or years later.
“It’s important to
remind yourselves that
anything you say or do
online never goes away,”
he said. “It’s always there.
“It might seem innocu-
ous now to post nude pic-
tures on your phone, but
the material can get in the
wrong hands—even sexual
predators.”
Sheriff Scott McKenna
urged the students to con-
template the impact that
finding such images on a
phone or computer would
have on their parents, fam-
ily members and friends.
“Don’t post anything
online you wouldn’t want
other people to see,” he
said. “And don’t say any-
thing online that you
wouldn’t say to someone’s
face.”
Should such postings
and activities break the
law, Prosecutor Mike
Sharkey promises no leni-
ency in the courtroom.
“Other than in a cir-
cumstance like this—you
really don’t want to see me
again,” Sharkey told the
students. “Being young,
dumb and impulsive isn’t
going to matter if you’ve
committed a crime.
“You always have to
consider the consequences
of your actions,” he said,
“which could entail fines
or jail or prison time for
more serious infractions.
So be smart.”
Probation Officer Steve
Smith reminded the audi-
ence that a felony on one’s
record can impede a per-
son’s ability to secure gain-
ful employment.
“I’m the guy who has
to tell a 16-year-old that he
can’t get in the military or
get a good job,” he said.
“It’s never a good thing to
come in contact with the
legal system. You don’t
ever want to be part of
that.”

eras at the park, creation of
a community ice rink,
cleanups of the Clinton

and renovations to the park
pavilion as goals that have
been achieved.
“We want more people
to visit and make greater
use of the park,” said
Peltier. “We have to con-
tinue making improve-
ments to make it safe and
more appealing to residents
and visitors.”
Though no specific
time table has been estab-
lished, Peltier outlined
some upgrades he’d like to
see come to fruition in the
coming years.
“We need to renovate
our tennis courts, upgrade
the rest rooms and buy
some new toys for the chil-
dren’s play area,” he said.

Officer Amanda
Manning, who works with
Almont youth on a daily

students avoid situations
that could be dangerous to

“There is nothing

Personal property taxes to be explained Thursday, February 8

Almont Chamber set to host area tax experts at 7:30 a.m.
By Tom Wearing
twearing@pageone-inc.com
ALMONT — Personal
Property taxes will be the
topic of discussion at the
Almont Chamber of
Commerce’s next “Wake
Up With Almont” breakfast
on Thursday, Feb. 8.
The monthly gathering
begins at 7:30 a.m. at the
Almont Lions Hall at 222
Water Street next to the
park tennis courts.
The guest speakers will
be local tax experts Tom
and Debbie Valentine, who
have been Almont’s tax
assessors since 2007.
Chamber President
Christy Yarbrough said the
couple is expected to cover
the basics of property taxes
in Michigan, while stress-
ing important points tax-
payers need to know to
minimize their tax obliga-
tions.
“The Valentines pre-
sentation is very timely,
since businesses need to
turn in their Michigan
Personal Property Tax
Statements by February
10,” said Yarbrough.
“Improperly filling out the
statement can result not
only paying a higher than
necessary property tax, but
a permanent loss of ability
to claim tax credits as
well.”
The couple will also
discuss common correct-
able errors, such as classifi-
cation mistakes and their
remedies.
Wake Up With Almont
is open to all Almont area
businesses.
There is a $5 donation
at the door, which includes
a continental breakfast.

1/29/18 2308 hours
A 24-year-old male from
Almont was stopped on W.
St. Clair St. near Church
St. for having a broken out
taillight. The male was
arrested for Driving While
License Suspended and
was released from the
town festival. They enjoyed
each other’s performances,
and ended up deciding to
join together to create the
Misfit Quintet we know
today.
“The Misfits are pas-
sionate about the style of
music they play,” Crismer
says in the press release.
“Jazz is an amazing style of
music, blending pop, folk,
and art music throughout
the centuries to create one
genre.”
Members of the Misfits
say that it is technically
challenging and creates a
special sound they describe
as “different but familiar
for players and listeners.”
They feel that jazz gives
them the chance to take
songs and put their own
interpretation on them for
scene. Officer Kosinski
made the arrest.
2/2/18 1444 hours
A 34-year-old female from
Dryden was stopped in the
Kingsbrook Mobile Home
park near the Community

The female was lodged at
the Lapeer County Jail.

hover over a region for
days on end, horse owners
are often faced with a
question of whether or not
to attempt to provide extra
protection such as blan-
keting for their horse.
Answer: There is no
simple answer. It really
comes down to assessing
each individual horse’s
needs.
No question about it,
most horses have the abil-
ity to grow a winter coat
that will keep them suffi-
ciently warm in the cold-
est temperatures. Winter
hair growth is primarily
triggered by change in day
length or photoperiod.
This starts taking place
around late summer.
External temperatures will
also play a role in the pro-
cess of winter hair growth.
In contrast, blankets
can be very useful for
some including: horses
that are sick, thin, very
young or geriatric.
Additionally, horses that
have recently moved to
Michigan from a warmer
than that of a horse that
was left unblanketed.
•Housing—Horses do
a relatively good job of
withstanding even the
harshest of winter condi-
tions. In some cases, much
to our disapproving, hors-
es may elect not to use the
shelter provided, choosing
to stand out in the middle
of a snow storm with their
hindquarters to the wind.
However, it is still
important that horses have
access to some sort of
shelter from rain/freezing
rain and wind. Rain/freez-
ing rain can be the most
concerning of the two. If
the hair coat gets wet and
the hairs flatten, this
decreases the insulating
factor of the hair, requir-
ing more energy to regu-
late body temperature for
the horse to stay warm.
•Feed and Water
source—Forages such as
hay are excellent at
increasing the heat incre-
ment within the body when
digested by the horse.
Therefore, increasing lev-
els of hay or fiber fed can
be an advantageous man-
agement practice when
attempting to help horses
Other consideration:
Keep in mind that if you
choose to start utilizing a
blanket for your horse, the
blanket has the potential to
flatten the hair coat caus-
ing it to lose insulating
ability. This may result in
blanket duty for the
remainder of the season. If
choosing to provide your
horse with a blanket, con-
sider if the blanket is
waterproof or not.
Remember: There may
be no simple answer.
However, observation of
the horse’s behavior and
evaluating other factors
(hair coat, age, shelter
accessibility, feed, etc.)
relevant to the respective
situation may increase
your confidence that your
horse can withstand harsh
winter conditions with
appropriate management.

ACROSS MICHIGAN
— Fewer cattle, sheep and
goats called Michigan
home in 2017, the United
States Department of
Agriculture reported
recently. According to the
National Agricultural
Statistics Service (NASS),
all cattle and calves were
tallied at 1.16 million head,
down two percent from
176,000 head as of January
2018.
When the NASS took
their sheep and lamb
inventory on the first day
of 2018, it showed a six
percent drop with 80,000
head. The breeding sheep
inventory saw the biggest
decline. With four percent
fewer animals, that group
now totals 57,000 head.
Market sheep and lambs
and the 2017 lamb crop
both saw their numbers
decrease by 1,000. Market
animals now total 23,000
head and the lamb crop
ended with 49,000 ani-
mals.
As of January 1, there
were 11,500 milk goats in
Michigan, down 1,000
from a year earlier.
Statistics for meat and
other types of goats was
not available in the January
inventory.

Crop production fell in 2017

2016, with the biggest
decline-15 percent-coming
from a loss of beef cows,
that now total 102,000
head.
The number of beef
replacement heifers fell by
four percent to stand at
24,000 head and the 2017
calf crop was unchanged
from 2016, standing at
410,000 head.
Somewhat surprising-
ly, the number of dairy
cattle rose slightly-one
percent-with milk cows
totaling 428,000 head.
Replacement dairy heifers
also saw their numbers rise
by four percent to stand at
ACROSS MICHIGAN — Michigan crop pro-
duction saw a decline in yields in the 2017 growing
year compared to 2016, the United States Department
of Agriculture reports. According to the National
Agricultural Statistics Service, farmers harvested an
average of 42.5 bushels per acre for soybeans, eight
bushels less than last year. All hay production dropped
by nine percent, to stand at 2.14 million tons. Sugar
beet growers saw a smaller crop too. At 25.2 tons per
acre, the state’s average yield was down 5.6 tons from
2016.
Corn grown for grain fared better. The state’s aver-
age yield stood at 159 bushels, a two percent increase
from the prior year. Corn silage yields were down just
one ton per acre, to stand at 18.5 tons per acre.
