St. Cloud Readies for Central Minnesota Farm Show
ST. CLOUD (WJON News) – After more than 50 years in St. Cloud, the Central Minnesota Farm Show is ready to return to the River’s Edge Convention Center.
This year’s show runs February 27th and 28th.
In addition to 200 booths and over 150 vendors, the Chamber’s Emily Bertram says there are a number of keynote speakers set up to discuss topics all farms and agribusinesses need.
(There will be) a panel on estate planning, because that’s such a huge part of farming – figuring out what happens next. Where does it go from generation to generation? We have a panel coming up on cybersecurity, which could be relevant from a farmer’s perspective and from a vendor’s perspective. And the one that I’m super excited – we have (the) co-owner of Redhead Creamery. It’s a creamery in Brooten, Minnesota that does agri-tourism.
Organizers say booths at the show are sold out, and vendors will cover topics of interest to all farmers, from large-scale producers to those interested in smaller projects for farmer’s markets and side businesses.
Alan Brinkman is one of this year’s organizers. He says the farm show has changed to reflect the needs of modern farms.
I think technology is the big word when it comes to farming. You’ve got computers, you’ve got tractors that can almost run themselves. Everything is GPS. It’s not just getting your hands dirty, it’s understanding the electronics behind it, it’s understanding the communication, your soils, and being (able) to have someone come out and test (to) know what you can and can’t do.
The Central Minnesota Farm Show is on February 27th and 28th. For more information on the show, find the Central Minnesota Farm Show website here.

If Nolan Teasley is the “primary football executive” in Minnesota, Seahawks will get compensatory picks
The hiring of Seahawks assistant G.M. Nolan Teasley as the Vikings’ new G.M. will carry a specific benefit for his former team.
Per the league, Teasley qualifies as a diverse candidate under the NFL provision that gives the former team of a newly-hired G.M. or head coach a pair of third-round compensatory draft picks.
The only question is whether Teasley will be Minnesota’s “primary football executive.” That requirement prevented the Bears from receiving the compensatory draft picks when assistant General Manager Ian Cunningham was hired to be the Falcons G.M. The league decided that president of football Matt Ryan is the “primary football executive” in Atlanta.
The Bears appealed the decision to the league, and Bears fans continue to be mystified by the outcome — especially since Ryan has made it clear that Cunningham is a General Manager “in every facet of the word.”
Minnesota has no similar position to Ryan’s job with the Falcons. The only alternative to Teasley would be coach Kevin O’Connell. But there has been no indication that, moving forward, O’Connell will emerge as the top football executive for the Vikings, with full control over the roster and the draft.
The NFL’s full collection of diversity of initiatives have recently come under attack by Florida’s attorney general. The Seahawks getting two extra third-round draft picks undoubtedly will spark a reaction from those who, in the current climate, attack efforts aimed at enhancing diversity, equity, and inclusion.
