Halvorson Finds Life Beyond Farming in Roses and Lilies
Don Halvorson, a Wisconsin farmer who lost both legs in a corn shredder accident, survives through farming and a deep devotion to roses and lilies. He cultivates rare Canadian rose varieties, studies grafting, guards plants from winter kill with sawdust and hardware cloth, and trades blooms with growers nationwide while juggling farm duties and horse show duties. He emphasizes that farming needs a second passion to stay engaged.

Boundary commission backs Prescott bridge at adjacent site
The Minnesota Wisconsin Boundary Area Commission on July 21 favored a Highway 10 bridge adjacent to the current Prescott structure rather than a new corridor. Officials in Minnesota and Wisconsin will choose a corridor in coming months, weighing a lift bridge beside the 61 year old span or a northern Lake St. Croix crossing. Critics warn the northern option would impact undeveloped land, create long distance visual noise, and affect Carpenter St Croix Valley Nature Center on the Minnesota side.
