Veterans Day Program at NHS by Ruth Klossner 507-240-0048 cowladyruth@gmail.com The Nicollet American Legion and Nicollet Public School presented the annual Veterans Day Ceremony at the school Friday afternoon, November 11. Community veterans attended, along with the entire NPS
student body. The NHS Band provided welcome music, as well as the Armed Forces Song later in the program. The NHS Choir sang the StarSpangled Banner and America. NPS Principal Robin Courrier gave the welcome and student body president Olivia Lanz led the Pledge of Allegiance.
The Nicollet Legion posted and retrieved the colors, gave the invocation, and provided a 21-gun salute and Taps. Legion Commander Brad Pyan explained the flag folding ceremony, the POW/MIA table, and the meaning of the gun salute and Taps.

Service for Freedom Held at MVL High School by Ruth Klossner 507-240-0048 cowladyruth@gmail.com From the welcome at the door to the retiring of the colors, the Service for Freedom Veterans’ Recognition Program at Minnesota Valley Lutheran High School Wednesday, November 9, was impressive. The school recognizes area vets with an early morning breakfast and a meaningful program. The entire school in involved, with
students greeting and welcoming guests, serving breakfast, playing in the band, singing in the choir, and cleaning up afterward. Taking part were the MVL Symphonic Band, Chargaliers, student council, food service and National Honor Society. The music included A Nation’s Prayer, American the Beautiful, The Star Spangled Banner, the Armed Forces Salute, My Country Tis of Thee, Stars and Stripes Forever, and Taps. Keynote speaker was Jim
The MVL Symphonic Band played under the huge American flag that was hung over the stage in the school gym. Louwsma, a retired U.S. Navy pilot.

Celebrating the Power of Rural Thursday, across Minnesota and nationwide, we’re celebrating National Rural Health Day. For the past 11 years, the National Organization of State Offices of Rural Health has led the effort — setting aside the third Thursday of every November (this year, on Nov. 17) to call attention to the selfless and community-minded spirit of health care professionals, health care organizations and other stakeholders who work daily to improve health, wellbeing and equity in the country’s rural communities, where nearly 60 million Americans reside. From Windom to Cloquet, Winona to Roseau and all points in between and beyond, Minnesota’s rural physicians and physician assistants, advanced practice nurses and other nurses, behavioral and mental health specialists, dentists, therapists and technicians, public health professionals, health professions students, administrators, staff and vol-
unteers, as well as the facilities and agencies where these professionals work — the state’s rural health clinics and hospitals, our public health departments, emergency medical services agencies and other nonprofits who serve the health needs of our rural residents — all deserve a big “thank you” on National Rural Health Day. And so much more. No matter where they practice — in critical access hospitals, in free clinics, in nursing homes, in mobile health clinics, in federally qualified health centers or in the back of an ambulance — each and every day Minnesota’s rural health care workforce finds ways to give and then give some more. They give us their time. They give us their attention. They give us their unending compassion. They give us leadership and vision for meeting rural community health needs. They’re committed to the communities they serve, which are typically their own communi-
ties: the communities where they live, play and shop; the communities where their kids go to school; and, very often, the communities where they grew up. And all that they give — each one of those sacrifices — is made to ensure that you, me, our family and our friends receive the best care possible when facing what may potentially be one of the worst days of our lives. The health care organizations that employ these caring professionals and the nonprofits they partner with deserve our thanks as well. In today’s challenging economic environment, operating a rural health care facility or service is no easy task. But most organizations and their leaders find ways to keep the doors open. They ask the tough questions that need to be asked. They recruit and retain the right staff. They partner with community organizations. They drive change,
going the extra mile to advance health equity. They know they’re needed. They know communities depend on them. They know that a future where their doors are permanently closed is of no benefit to anyone. So let me take this opportunity to thank all of the health care professionals, health care organizations, and health and wellness-related nonprofits who serve this community: Thank you. When we need you, you are there. No matter the time of day. No matter our health concern. We can depend on you. That sense of security is nothing short of priceless. Happy National Rural Health Day to each one of you. Sally Buck CEO, National Resource Center Duluth, MN

The monthly USDA World Supply and Demand Estimates (WASDE) Report was released on November 9, which may have some impact corn and soybean markets in the coming months. The WASDE Report made minor adjustments to projected 2022-23 U.S. corn and soybean carryover estimates at the end of the current marketing year on August 31, 2023, as compared to estimates last month. The biggest surprise to the grain markets was a slight increase in the estimated corn and soybean production levels for 2022 compared to a month earlier, which resulted in slightly higher carryout levels for both corn and soybeans in the November WASDE Report. Most grain marketing analysts viewed the latest USDA reports as somewhat “bullish” for future corn prices and “neutral” for soybean prices. December corn futures closed at $6.64 per bushel on the Chicago Board of Trade (CBOT) following the November 9 report, which compares to a price of $6.96 per bushel following the WASDE report on September 12 and to $5.55 per bushel following the November WASDE report in 2021. CBOT November soybean futures closed at $14.52 per bushel following the latest WASDE report, which was below the $14.88 per bushel price following the September report and compares to $11.38 per bushel following the WASDE report in November of 2021. The 2022 national average corn

Minor Changes in November USDA Reports
yield is now estimated at the record level of 172.3 bushels per acre, which was increased from 171.9 in October. The 2022 harvested corn acreage in the U.S. was maintained 80.8 million acres, resulting in a total estimated 2022 corn production of 13.93 billion bushels. This compares to total U.S. corn production levels of near 15.1 billion bushels in 2021, 14.1 billion bushels in 2020 and to 13.6 billion bushels in 2019. Total corn usage for the 2022-23 year is now estimated at just over 14.175 billion bushels, which would be down from 14.956 billion bushels in the 2021-22 marketing year. Corn export levels and the amount of corn used for both feed and ethanol production during the current marketing year, which ends on August 31, 2023, were all reduced from corn usage levels during the 2021-22 marketing year. USDA is now estimating 20222022 U.S. corn ending stocks at 1.182 billion bushels, which was 10 million bushels above the October estimate. This compares to carryout levels of 1.338 billion bushels in 2021-22, 1.24 billion bushels in 2020-21, and 1.99 billion bushels for 2019-20. Based on current estimates, the U.S. corn carryout to use ratio would be at 8.3 percent for 2022-23, which compares to 9.2 percent for 2021-22, 8.3 percent in 2020-21, and 14.4 percent in 2019-20. The continued tighter corn stocks could result in the potential for some short-term rallies in the cash corn market and continued tight basis levels at many locations in the coming months. The 2022-23 U.S. soybean ending stocks in the recent WASDE Report were estimated at 220 million bush-
els, which was an increase of 20 million bushels compared to the October USDA report. The projected soybean ending stocks compare to 274 million bushels in 2021-22 and 256 million bushels in 2020-21; however, the projected 2022-23 carryout level is well below the ending stocks of 523 million bushels in 2019-20 and 913 million bushels in 2018-19. The soybean stocks-to-use ratio for 2022-23 is estimated at 5 percent, which is down from down from 6.1 percent on 2021-22 and well below levels of 11.5 percent in 2019-20 and 23 percent for 2018-19. Total U.S. soybean production for 2022 was estimated at just under 4.346 billion bushels in the November report, which was increased by 33 million bushels from the October estimate and was slightly higher than the average grain trade projection. Total soybean demand for 2022-23 is projected at 4.414 billion bushels, which is down slightly from 4.465 billion bushels in 2021-22. The anticipated reduction in U.S. soybean demand in the coming year is primarily due to a decrease in the expected soybean export levels in 2022-23. The fact that soybean ending stocks remain fairly tight may offer some opportunities for short-term rallies for farmlevel soybean prices in the coming months, especially if there are any weather-related production issues in South America. Based on the November WASDE report, USDA is currently estimating the U.S average on-farm cash corn price for the 2022-2023 marketing year at $6.80 per bushel, which was unchanged from the
October report. The USDA price estimates are the expected average farm-level prices for the 2022 crop year from September 1, 2022, to August 31, 2023; however, they do not represent estimated prices for either the 2022 or 2023 calendar year. The projected USDA average corn price of $6.80 per bushel would be the highest since 2012-13 following the 2012 drought. The 2022-23 estimated corn price compares to recent national average corn prices of $6.00 per bushel for 2021-22, $4.53 per bushel for 2020-21, $3.56 per bushel for 2019-20, and $3.61 per bushel for 2018-19. USDA maintained the projected U.S. average farm-level soybean price for the 2022-2023 marketing year at $14.00 per bushel, which was also the same as the October estimate. The projected national average soybean price would be the highest in the past decade. The 2022-23 projected national average soybean price compares to prices $13.30 per bushel in 2021-22, $10.80 per bushel for 2020-21, $8.57 per bushel for 2019-20, $8.48 per bushel for 201819, and $9.35 per bushel for 2017-18.
USDA 2022 Corn and Soybean Yield Projections Below 2021 Yields
Based on the USDA Crop Production Report released on November 9, the projected U.S. average corn yield for 2022 will be 172.3 bushels per acre which was a decrease from the record U.S. corn yield of 177 bushels per acre in 2021. This compares to other recent U.S. corn yields of 171.4 bushels per acre in 2020, 167.5 bushels per acre in 2019, and 176.4 bushels per acre in
2018. The projected 2022 U.S. harvested corn acreage is 80.8 million acres is a decrease of 5.3 percent from 85.3 million acres that were harvested last year. The November USDA Report increased the projected 2022 corn yields from the October report in Illinois by 5 bushels per acre, Indiana by 4 bushels, Iowa and North Dakota by 2 bushels per acre, and Minnesota by 1 bushel per acre. The latest USDA report left the projected corn yield unchanged from a month earlier in Wisconsin, while reducing estimated yield levels in Nebraska and South Dakota by 4 and 5 bushel per acre respectively. Minnesota is now projected to have a statewide average corn yield of 191 bushels per acre in 2022 compared to 177 bushels per acre in 2021, with Iowa are at 202 bushels per acre in 2022 compared to 204 bushels per acre in 2021. Other projected 2022 State average corn yields are Illinois at 215 bushels per acre, Indiana at 191 bushels per acre, Ohio at 186 bushels per acre, North Dakota at 143 bushels per acre, and Wisconsin at 182 bushels per acre. The drought-stricken States of Nebraska and South Dakota are projected at 168 and 125 bushels per acre respectively. USDA is estimating the 2022 U.S. soybean yield at 50.2 bushels per acre, which is an increase of 0.4
bushels from the October estimate. The projected 2022 national average soybean yield compares to 51.7 bushels per acre in 2021, 51 bushels per acre in 2020, 47.4 bushels per acre in 2019, 50.6 bushels per acre in 2018, the record U.S. soybean yield of 52.0 bushels per acre in 2016. The 2022 harvested soybean acreage is projected at 86.6 million acres, which up slightly from the 2021 U.S. soybean acreage of 86.3 million acres; however, the 2022 acreage is well above the U.S. soybean harvested acreage of 82.6 million acres in 2020 and 74.9 million acres in 2019. USDA is estimating the 2022 Minnesota soybean yield at 50 bushels per acre, which is up from 47 bushels per acre in 2021, while Iowa is projected at 59 bushels per acre in 2022, compared to a record 63 bushels per acre in 2021. Other States with strong soybean yields for 2022 include Illinois at 64 bushels per acre, Indiana at 59 bushels per acre, Ohio at 55 bushels per acre, Wisconsin at 54 bushels per acre, and North Dakota at 36 bushels per acre. The 2022 statewide yield estimate in drought-stricken Nebraska is projected at 50 bushels per acre, which compares to 63 bushels per acre in 2021, while the South Dakota yield is estimated at 39 bushels per acre in 2022, compared to 40 bushels per acre in 2021.

Clear Lake has been hampered by poor water quality because of common carp and shoreline erosion caused by wind and wave action. Management goals of this partial drawdown are to greatly reduce common carp populations, increase aquatic plant habitat for fish and wildlife, increase angling opportunities by stocking gamefish, and put the “clear” back into Clear Lake.

Greater MN Economic Development Grants Governor Walz Announces Over $20 Million For Economic Development in Greater Minnesota 34 Greater Minnesota Cities, Townships, and Counties to Receive Grants [ST. PAUL, MN] – Governor Tim Walz and Lieutenant Governor Peggy Flanagan today announced over $20 million in funding for small cities, townships, and counties in Minnesota. The Small Cities Development Program (SCDP) grants will be used for infrastructure and rehabilitation projects in 34 Minnesota cities, townships, and counties. “From St. Peter to Swanville, Minnesota does better when all of our neighborhoods are thriving,” said Governor Walz. “These grants are going directly to smaller communities to help with infrastructure projects and keep our cities growing and thriving. We are working to make Minnesota the best state to live, work, and raise a family – no matter where you live.” “By investing in projects that will keep moving Minnesota for-
ward, this program will address current and emerging needs for communities across Minnesota,” said Lieutenant Governor Peggy Flanagan. “Minnesota is in a strong economic position, and we will keep working to make sure all of our cities are thriving.” SCDP grants will be administered by the Department of Employment and Economic Development and are part of the Community Development Block Grant Program of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The grants are administered by DEED’s Small Cities Development Program Unit. The SCDP grants pay for rehabilitating housing and commercial buildings and updating public infrastructure in small cities and counties. “This is really a phenomenal program to help small cities in Greater Minnesota grow,” said DEED Commissioner Steve Grove. “By driving over $20 million to infrastructure growth in the rural areas of our state, we’re backing up our belief that you can live anywhere in Minnesota and have an extraordi-

This will affect your 2023 property taxes and eligibility for Property Tax Refund. Have you purchased or moved into a property in the past year? Contact your county assessor to file a homestead application if you or a qualifying relative occupy the property as a homestead on or before December 31, 2022. Who is a qualifying relative? For unoccupied agricultural property, a qualifying relative includes the child, grandchild, sibling, or parent of the owner or owner’s spouse. For occupied agricultural or residential property, a qualifying relative also includes the uncle, aunt, nephew, or niece of the owners or owner’s spouse. When do I apply? You must apply on or before December 31, 2022. Once homestead is granted, annual applications are not necessary unless they are requested by the county assessor. Contact the assessor by December 31, 2022 if the use of the property you own or occupy as a qualifying relative has changed during the past year. If you sell, move, or for any reason no longer qualify for the homestead classification, you are required to notify the county assessor within 30 days of the change in homestead status.

Auto Theft Arrest in Lafayette
Nicollet County Sheriff’s Office Press Release On November 2nd, 2022 the Nicollet County Sheriff’s Office received a driving complaint in the city of Lafayette. A Nicollet County Patrol Sergeant located the vehicle and attempted to conduct
a traffic stop. The driver of the vehicle rapidly accelerated, leading the Patrol Sergeant on a short pursuit. The driver of this vehicle drove through some resident’s yards in an attempt to avoid arrest. The driver exited the still moving vehicle and the Patrol Sergeant
was forced to utilize his squad car to prevent the unoccupied vehicle from striking a residence. During the course of the investigation, it was discovered that this vehicle was stolen from a rural Brown County residence. A suspect has been identified
in connection to this incident, but his information cannot be released until formal charges have been filed. If you have suffered property damage in relation to this pursuit, please contact the Nicollet County Sheriff’s Office to file a report.

Raider Gridders Face Adversity by Ruth Klossner cowladyruth@gmail.com 507-240-0048
The 2022 Raider football season had its share of ups and downs. “The season was certainly filled with many highs and lows,” coach Cory Jans said. “The resiliency of our guys showed through at many different times throughout the season.” Jans continued, “The adversity this group faced on multiple fronts was more than what most teams face. Having a head coach named at the end of the summer, and not having any prior relationship or expectations of what the new dynamic would be like, by itself is an intimidating thing in a sport filled with passion. The openness and optimism from this group is something that makes them great people to be around.” The team had a tall order, starting the year with some big contributors not being eligible for the start of the season and having younger guys, who probably weren’t really expecting to play, step in and fill roles for the team. “I think the guys did a great job of not changing our approach, based off of who was or wasn’t playing,” the coach said. “It was definitely a year of growth, starting everything new on all fronts with a new coach, new systems, and some guys playing new positions.” The Raiders finished the season with a 2-7 record, winning the season opener by scoring in the last two
seconds to edge Westbrook-Walnut Grove 40-38 and defeating Madelia in a high scoring track meet, 64-38. The offseason will be a big difference maker for the Raiders moving forward, as the team is losing quite a bit of experience on both sides of the ball to graduation—especially on the offensive and defensive lines. Wrapping up their football careers were Austyn Kramer, Austin Northquest, Jonathon Petersen, Justin Rist, Justin Slater, and Dominic Stoecker. “Building stronger bonds with one another and working hard to get bigger, faster, and stronger physically should and will be a focus this offseason,” Jans said.
These Raiders received the top awards at the Nicollet football potluck Sunday evening. From left: Conner Martens, Trenton Havemeier, Justin Rist, Austyn Kramer, Austin Northquest, and Talan Osborne. Kramer and Martens were named All-District and Northquest and Rist honorable mention. All six received Raider team awards.

They didn’t Conner Martens, Hunter Erickson, seem to care if we were winning or Isaac Slater, AJ Kramer, Talan losing, they just enjoyed playing!” Osborne and Henry Oscarson. The JV was made up mostly of Sixteen players were named let- freshman. They struggled a bit at terwinners (see chart). season’s start since some of their Coach Cory Jans recognized teammates from the previous year Emily Rist and Alesia Slater for had moved up to varsity. They were also playing against teams that had older players. Some players were asked to move to spots that they had not played before, but did so happily in order to get games. “I am proud of how they played as a team,” Bernau said. “When we talked about getting senior Jon Petersen a touchdown in the last game, all the players were on board. Some even sacrificed their own stats and scores so that Jon could have his moment. And then they all celebrated like we had just won a game to go to the state tournament. I don’t think I could have been prouder as a coach.” With six seniors graduating from the varsity team, several of the JV players will play on Friday nights next year. “It was good to see some of them play out of position and be uncomfortable at times. That will certainly happen next year, when they play against bigger, stronger, and older competition. They are a good group of kids and I am excited to watch them as they get older,” Bernau said. Team leaders were Henry Oscarson, passing; AJ Kramer, Jonathon Petersen led the Raiders through the banner as the team took Hunter Erickson, and Jacob Volby, receiving; Talan Osborne and Hunter the field for their last home game on Senior Night October 19. • • •

Junior High Football Season Review
The Raider junior high football team finished with a 1-6 record which coach James Bernau described as, “Kinda disappointing after the strong season we had last year.” He added, “But every group is different, and expectations needed to be adjusted. For the most part we were a competent team this year.” The team had three games that ended in losses, but could have been wins. Bernau described the season finale as the team’s best game, even though it ended in a 0-18 loss to GHE. “When we played them earlier in the season, we were down 40 at halftime. And, in our final game, we played without our starting quarterback.” He went on, “The kids definitely improved as the year went on, and it will be fun to watch them play JV games next year.” Henry Kennedy was the leading passer. The leading receivers were Carson Kettner and Jordan Goettlicher. Rushing leaders were Blake Hawker, Henry Carleton, and Luke Warmington. Leading the defense were Warmington, Hawker, and Max Kuttner. Eighth grade players were Carleton, Goettlicher, Hawker, Kennedy, Kettner, Kuttner, Warmington, Riley Becker, Ray Busch, Landyn Erickson, Matt Klingerman, Logan Lanz, and Bo Maas. Seventh grade team members were Aidan Bruns, Cole Dallmann, Kade Forbrook, Jordan Laven, and Landyn Trussell.
