Rising prices for farmland across Minnesota helped Greg Schuman and his siblings decide it was finally time to sell off 160 acres in Chippewa County that his family owned for nearly a century. The timing was right for us, with land prices where they re at, and where we re at in our lives, said Schuman, who lives in Nisswa and turns 60 this month. The four siblings sold the farm between Clara City and Maynard to an investor for an amount Schuman wouldn t reveal except to say that all of us were very happy with the outcome.

(Fargo, ND) Fargo Public Schools will have additional funding to support the emotional wellbeing of students thanks to a large donation from R.D. Offutt Company and the Offutt Family Foundation.
A check presentation took place in the main lobby of the District Office building Friday. This $20,000 donation is part of R.D. Offutt Company’s Community Builder Program, which supports the charitable interests of its employees.
Fargo Public Schools will use the funds as part of its Multi-Tiered System of Supports program, which offers academic and behavioral interventions to support student wellness. Specifically, this donation will aid the District in continuing its services related to depression and suicide prevention.

For 50 years, a single company has extracted millions in profits from one of Minnesota’s most important and ecologically vulnerable regions, the Pineland Sands. The 770-square-mile area in northern Minnesota is home to globally threatened jack pine forests and abundant streams and wetlands. It is also underlain by a critical, shallow and highly vulnerable drinking water aquifer.
In its wake, the company has left poisoned rivers and drinking water and clear-cut forests. The company reaping all this devastation isn’t another corporate mining consortium or transnational oil pipeline, but a sprawling potato harvesting and processing empire run by the R.D. Offutt Company (RDO), based in Fargo, North Dakota.
