Sunflower oil growth rivals wheat in Midwest farming
Sunflowers surge as a major cash crop with over two million acres planted, driven by rising oil demand and lower grain prices. Experts cite potential $1 billion in U S sales and solid drought tolerance, while farmers test marketing sun oil in products from Procter and Gamble to Hunt Wesson. In North Dakota and across the Midwest, farmers like Carl Tischhauser weigh profits against market uncertainty and need for further research.

Wild West mustangs find new home at Millington base
Thirty unruly range horses from Sparks Nevada have been relocated to Memphis Naval Air Station Millington Tennessee under a Bureau of Land Management program. The transfer, arranged by base stable manager Tom Williams, includes cost coverage for transport and a $15 vet fee, with lifelong support and no sale or destruction allowed. Base staff drove 2200 miles to Nevada to fetch and train the animals, which respond well to steady handling and care.
