Putting on Face on Ag Issues

Election results may change who’s making decisions, but the priorities for Minnesota agriculture remain. Minnesota Farm Bureau Federation Vice President Carolyn Olson says the organization is ready to work with newly elected and returning lawmakers. “Whether you lean left or lean right, you’re going to be excited or you’re going to be disappointed,” said Olson. “Farm Bureau is a nonpartisan organization and I think that is one of our strengths as well.” Building relationships at the Capitol is only part of the job. “Putting a face on an issue is one of the best things we can do.” MFBF is hosting its annual meeting, starting Thursday in Minnetonka.

Popular coffee chain offers rare NeeDohs, causes traffic jams

Popular coffee drive-thru franchise 7 Brew recently got into some “hot water” after selling limited-edition NeeDohs that caused traffic and chaos earlier this fall. The business idea was a success since it brought in lots of customers, but based on the overwhelming response, it’s likely that franchise owners didn’t expect so many people to show up.

Spartans storm into Class 4A semifinals

Orono moved within two victories of back-to-back state championships with a 56-20 beating of SMB on Thursday night at Buffalo High School in the Class 4A state tournament quarterfinals. Senior quarterback Finn Dyvik continued his stellar season for the Spartans, throwing three touchdown passes and running for two more scores. “Great state playoff win for us last night,” Orono head coach Joe McPherson said. “SMB came out strong and I was proud of our defense for making adjustments during the game to hold them to only 14 points in the first half.” SMB, led by freshman quarterback Carter Cupito, hung around for nearly a half. The Wolfpack cut the Orono lead to 16-14 with a Cupito to James Grossman touchdown 1:50 before the break. Cupito already has a scholarship offer from the University of Minnesota and is the son of former Gopher QB Bryan Cupito. But the Spartans had a quick answer and dominated the third quarter to put the game on ice. Just 38 seconds after SMB scored, Dyvik connected with Bennett Halverson for a 29-yard touchdown connection. Dyvik’s 2-point run made it 24-14 at the intermission. The third quarter was all Spartans. Just 18 seconds into the period,

36 Years Later, A ‘Major Step’ Completed in Plymouth’s Station 73 Project

When a teenage Amy Klobuchar rode her bicycle on the shoulder along Highway 55 in the 1970s, the population of Plymouth was about 20,000 people. Klobuchar lived three blocks away from Highway 55, which now serves as a major east-west connection between the western suburbs and Minneapolis. Today, about 30,000 vehicles use Highway 55 daily in a city that has grown to roughly 80,000 people.

Set The Hook Guide Service Launches New Ice Fishing Excursions

SCPA boys soccer: Holy Angels stops Lions in state finals

MINNEAPOLIS — History was made with the St. Croix Preparatory Academy boys soccer team, even without the Hollywood ending. The Lions had their state title aspirations dashed by Holy Angels 1-0 in a spirited Class A championship game on Saturday, Nov. 7 at U.S. Bank Stadium. It was the first loss of the season for second-seeded SCPA — and part of a memorable doubleheader for the Baytown Township charter school as the girls team also finished as the state runner-up earlier in the evening. SCPA (20-1-1) faced a tall order in the boys final as top-seeded and undefeated Holy Angels (20-0-1) wrapped up its third consecutive state championship. “When the final whistle blows your initial reaction is a lot of different emotions going through your head,” said Lions coach Matt Carlson, admitting to some initial disappointment before quickly reflecting on a remarkable season. “I was so proud of what the boys were able to accomplish.” SCPA, which opened in the fall of 2004, has never advanced past the quarterfinals of a state tournament prior to the soccer teams taking that a step further by playing in the finals this season. “The boys took it very hard right away, but we

For new Brazilian steakhouse, Maple Grove location is a homecoming

Bullvino’s Brazilian Steakhouse will soon be opening its fourth location and occupying the former Golden Corral site in Maple Grove, at 13603 Grove Drive. The restaurant has other locations in St. Paul, Bloomington and Bolingbrook, Illinois. There are also plenty of Minnesota and Maple Grove connections. Blake Hagert, owner/partner with Bullvino’s, said the restaurant is a family-owned and locally-owned Brazilian steakhouse, or churrascaria, rooted in the gaucho tradition of southern Brazil. “Our founder, Marcio de Morais, was born in Rio Grande do Sul, the birthplace of gaucho culture, and opened our first restaurant in St. Paul in 2019 to bring that tradition to Minnesota," he said. “The name says what we're about. ‘Bull’ is for the premium cuts we hand select, and ‘Vinos’ is for the wine tradition of South America.” Dinner is churrasco style, the way it's done in Brazil. “Our gauchos fire roast up to 21 cuts over open flame, bring them to your table on the skewer and carve them right in front of you. That includes picanha, the signature cut of Brazilian churrasco,” Hagert said. He noted that each diner gets a two-sided medallion. One side will let the gauchos keep bringing food and the red
