IPSWICH, S.D. A rooster jetted out of the corn stalks as soon as Mike Ward and Jax, his German shorthaired pointer, pushed into the crop a quarter-mile away.
The bird flew low and straight, rising over a row of cedar trees that concealed two other hunters. One of them, Mike’s father, stepped out of the pines with a raised shotgun. He ended an otherwise crafty getaway with a single blast.

MNLARS has since been replaced, and the new plates are now available wherever residents renew their plates or tabs, online or in person.
The winning license plate design, by artist Timothy Turenne, depicts the state butterfly – the monarch – and rusty patched bumblebee, recently designated as the state bee. Pollinators, including the two species featured on the license plate, have been generally declining across the U.S. because of habitat loss and likely issues with pesticides.
Vehicle owners who want the new plates pay an extra fee of $30 per year, with the money going to critical habitat acquisition projects through the Reinvest in Minnesota program. In 2019, the plates generated $5.3 million to help buy and manage critical habitats for all types of species.
