LONDON – To the casual observer, Britain - an island nation that's no stranger to rain - could not get much wetter. But, as it turns out, that's a fallacy. And if preventive steps are not taken, in less than three decades, Britain might run out of water, the chief executive of the Environment Agency, a public body responsible for conservation in England, said Tuesday. http://www.startribune.com/britain-could-run-short-on-water-by-2050-official-warns/507371022/...
DES MOINES, Iowa — Farmer Jeff Jorgenson looks out over 750 acres of cropland submerged beneath the swollen Missouri River, and he knows he probably won't plant this year. But that's not his biggest worry. He and other farmers have worked until midnight for days to move grain, equipment and fuel barrels away from the floodwaters fed by heavy rain and snowmelt. The rising water that has damaged hundreds of homes and been blamed for three deaths has also taken a heavy toll on agriculture, inundating thousands of acres, threatening stockpiled g...
BEMIDJI—The Bemidji City Council is now the 24th local government unit in Minnesota to raise the tobacco buying age from 18 to 21.

Canadian oil giant Enbridge Energy set a record in 2018 by spending more on lobbying in Minnesota than any other organization has since the state started keeping records in 2007. A new state report says Enbridge spent $11.1 million in 2018 to promote its massive Line 3 tar sands pipeline project in Northern Minnesota. That dwarfs Enbridge’s $5.3 million lobbying spend in 2017, when it also claimed the No. 1 spot, and exceeds the spend of the next 15 organizations combined, according to the Minnesota Campaign Finance Board. Enbridge alone a...
St. Paul, MN: The Rural Finance Authority Board today issued a Disaster Declaration for the State of Minnesota which now makes low interest loans available for Minnesota farmers whose operations suffered barn collapses or other damage due to the record winter snowfall.

The funds are available to farmers for expenses not covered by insurance. “Governor Walz and the RFA board members acted quickly to make these disaster recovery funds available...
While there are 1.4 million people being cared for in nursing homes today, according to the National Alliance of Caregiving and AARP, there are 43.5 MILLION people being cared for by caregivers in their own homes. That’s a multiple of 30 times more people receiving care at home than in nursing homes. How can that be? This has got to be the best-kept secret in the history of health demographics! For virtually every disabled, chronically impaired, or aging individual, there exists at least one caregiver volunteering to place themselves between th...

(THE CONVERSATION) Immigration restrictions were making life difficult for Native Americans who live along – and across – the U.S.-Mexico border even before President Donald Trump declared a national emergency to build his border wall. The traditional homelands of 36 federally recognized tribes – including the Kumeyaay, Pai, Cocopah, O’odham, Yaqui, Apache and Kickapoo peoples – were split in two by the 1848 Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo and 1853 Gadsden Purchase, which carved modern-day California, Arizona, New Mexico and Texas out of northern...
