Minnesota Myth, arena football team, sends players home after 2 games

Minnesota Myth season reportedly abruptly ending

The inaugural season for the Minnesota Myth – a new Arena Football League team for the Twin Cities – has reportedly already come to an end.

MINNEAPOLIS (FOX 9) – When the Minnesota Myth took on the Philadelphia Soul at the Target Center just over a week ago, it was the Myth’s first game in front of a hometown crowd. But now it appears it was also its last.

FOX 9 obtained a letter to players from President and Owner Diana Hutton saying, “At this time, we believe it is prudent to allow you all to return home immediately.”

Hutton goes on to say, “I was working hard to obtain additional funding for the team. However, the timing to finalize the deal cannot be done within the next two days.”

The news comes just days after the Myth’s head coach, Rickey Foggie, reportedly resigned from the team, followed by special teams coordinator Javon Hering.

Minnesota farmers meet for annual convention

Members of the Minnesota Farmers Union came together in Minneapolis on Sunday for the 83rd-annual state convention.

The annual convention aims to bring the community together and focus on the future.

Union President Gary Wertish says one of the biggest challenges for farmers is high input prices for fertilizer and fuel. A sheet titled “Farmer’s Share” showed that farmers and ranchers only make 14.3 cents per every dollar spent by consumers.

“We see prices going up in the grocery store we often blame farmers. But the farmers aren’t getting a large part of the increase,” said Janet Kubat, the union’s communications director.

Wertish says that on a national level, there’s a push for Congress to expand the current farm bill as a safety net for farmers.

As he looks to the future, he is concerned about President-Elect Trump’s proposed tariffs of 60-80% on Chinese goods, saying it could hurt farms and consumers.

The union also passed a policy in the school lunch program to have 20% of food or ingredients to come from local farmers.
