Christmas star lights the way to harvest home
A farmer recounts winter harvest in cold December, reflecting on work, weather, and family. Russ Schmalz helps with the Christmas star atop a grain elevator as Orrin and the narrator drive wagons, haul soybeans, and endure a brisk farm day. He recalls past seasons, gear, and the labor of keeping the bin’s moisture in check while dreaming of a better market.

Dissident dairy farmers win preliminary victory on Dairy Board
Milwaukee reports that critics of the National Dairy Board collected 14 500 signatures to force a national farmer referendum next year on abolishing the board which is funded by a 5 cent per 100 pounds milk charge. If verified by the USDA, the move could trigger a mid year referendum. Farmers praise volunteers and note milk prices fell to a 13 year low while supporters defend the board’s ad and research role.
