LAKE CITY â Spring is in the air Third Day Farm near Lake City.
As one can imagine, spring is a busy time on a farm. There is the planting and the planning for what needs to get ready. Since they do things in stages at the farm, planning is critical. For example, Third Day Farm partners Anne Gothard and Shirley Salmon said they already are selling the fruits of the third planting of salad greens.
Then there are the babies. Calves, lambs, and even barn kittens are some of the new residents at the farm. Spring is a time for rebirth and renewal after the long winter.

Fairmont area students
At their most recent meeting, the Fairmont School Board discussed the failure rate of students. Board member Mike Edman said that the fail rate or about to fail rate was around 30 percent. He further stated that did not meet his expectations, and we agree.
The Governor is responsible for shutting things down totally. In-person learning is the way to go, and those opting out of that aren’t being held accountable. Overall, the fact is that parents and students are more responsible than teachers or the administration.
Campground
The Fairmont City Council recently disapproved a letter of intent regarding the Day Farm property, received from Carlson Walters Group, LLC regarding the purchase of 55 acres of the Day Far for $1. The 55 acres would be used to develop a campground.
