Leagues forming for youth, adult volleyball
Volleyball players wanted: as you may have read, the Girl Scouts will be refurbishing the volleyball court at Legion Field in New Richland as well as adding a second court. Now, Troop 23601 is sponsoring a teen co-ed volleyball league for grades 7-12. Teams need to be a minimum of four people. There can’t be more guys on the court than girls per team. Teams provide their own ball and a line judge. Team shirts or uniforms are optional. The league will be held Tuesday evenings from June 11 to July 30. Cost is $20 per team and sign up is due by June 4. To sign up or for more information, call (507) 456-0500.

GPS event displays latest tech benefits for farmers
Area corn and soybean farmers will find out how they can increase production while decreasing costs at “Farming with GPS,” Wed. June 12 at Farmamerica, the Minnesota Agricultural Interpretive Center. The event begins at 8 a.m. with an overview of new capabilities and benefits of GPS. Farmers will learn about how the combination of global positioning technologies, sensors, and computers can enable higher precision, use of less fertilizer, and improved yields at lower costs, according to University of Minnesota Extension Educator Brad Carlson. Breakout sessions and demonstrations by Ag Leader, Case IH/Trimble, John Deere, and Precision Planting will be followed by a free lunch. Farmers can then stay for individual tutoring and “ride and drive” opportunities. “Farming with GPS” is sponsored by Farmamerica.
