That’s why facilities like Northfield Hospital are so critical to filling that gap. Just this year, the Northfield Hospital expects to help deliver more than 800 babies.

Small towns and rural communities are seeing a troubling trend of labor and delivery services being cut at rural hospitals. It means when expecting mothers go into labor, they have to drive farther to get the care they need, which can be dangerous for both baby and mom.
Thanks to the farmers and producers at Sharing our Roots for the tour!
Growers then harvest and sell at farmers markets or seasonal stands in the region. Fostering this kind of talent is how we begin to build a pipeline of growers prepared to take over as the next generation of farmers.
Thankfully, organizations like Sharing Our Roots are trying to change that. Sharing Our Roots is a community farm in Northfield where growers and producers can rent small plots of land to grow their crops.
The average age of America’s farmer is nearing 60 years old, yet our young farmers tasked with taking over are being boxed out from starting their own operations. How can they be expected to compete with corporate investors buying land?

On these Canada tariffs: Trump’s trying more of the same failed policy and he knows it. The trade war will inevitably just drive up prices on everyone while alienating one of our closest trading partners.
So great to be in Little Falls, an amazing community in central Minnesota that’s using federal programs to help their small businesses update historic buildings to meet their needs while protecting the history of the town.
Thank you for taking the time to show me around!
We owe this to people shopping at the grocery store that want to know what’s in the products they are buying. And we need to support our domestic producers by making it easier for them to start or grow their operations.
This is all added on top foreign producers flooding American markets with a product they call “honey” but is essentially just a form of syrup. We need to make sure that honey coming in to this country is real, authentic honey.
But right now, domestic honey producers are facing a lot of challenges. Different diseases or competing insects are wiping out hives, and the persistent drought is making it all worse.
A lot of people are surprised to hear that Minnesota produces the fifth most honey in the country. Mann Lake LTD employs about 140 people in Hackensack and is a key supplier for professional honey producers and backyard beekeeping enthusiasts.
ICE is fundamentally broken. We need to rip it down to the studs. Start over.
First Liam Conejo Ramos. Now Liam Tadeo.
How many five-year-old boys need to be taken by ICE before Republicans will admit to the cruelty of this mass deportation campaign? Where is our humanity? How can we justify putting a five-year-old through this?
It’s clear from the grand opening celebration that it’s going to be a real game changer for Saint Paul.
Thank you to everyone who came together to make this work!
The building will have over a dozen new classrooms, a brand-new gymnasium and early childhood education programs. But most importantly, 2,000 kids will have a place to learn and grow while their parents work, with scholarships available to make this all more affordable for families.
Childcare providers have a hard time expanding because of the incredible cost. It’s a seemingly endless loop.
But in Saint Paul, they’re changing that with the new YMCA Peter J. King Center for Child and Family Wellbeing.
In cities, towns and rural communities alike, I hear the same thing: the dire need for affordable childcare. Parents can’t start jobs because there’s no one to watch the kids. Businesses can’t expand because there’s no one to fill the jobs.
Corporate consolidation in agriculture is a big part of the reason why food prices continue to go up. There just isn’t enough competition, and we need to do more to give smaller operations a leg up.
