WINONA With July 4 here – and people ready to show their patriotism with rockets red glare – the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is reminding people that fireworks are banned on the Upper Mississippi River National Wildlife and Fish Refuge.
Fireworks disturb wildlife with their bright explosions and noise, and the litter they create can be hazardous to wildlife and fish. For example, the abrupt lights and sounds are often seen as a threat by nesting bald eagles and easily startle great blue herons and other colonial nesting birds.

Erosion steers young farmer to cover crops (6/2/2021)
The Old Testament of the Bible refers to turning swords into plowshares. The emergence of no-till and cover crop farming practices on farms like Sheldon Luehmann’s near Altura might mean that farmers might soon be able to turn their plowshares into something else entirely.
Luehmann is just 26, a relatively tender age as farmers go. However, he already is confident enough to begin experimenting with unconventional techniques. For one, when preparing to plant seeds he does not till the soil. Instead, no-tilling employs the leftover biomass of cover crops (in Luehmann’s case, rye) that are planted before the cash crop (soybeans). In essence, Luehmann plants the soybean seeds through the dead biomass instead of straight into the dirt. The only machine that disturbs the soil is the planter itself, cutting small furrows in which to drop the seeds.
