  3. Talon Metals, which is proposing a nickel mine in the Duluth Complex of northern #Minnesota, is abandoning its plans for a processing plant in #NorthDakota. Instead, it would like to process at the Eagle Mine and Humboldt Mill in #Michigan 's Upper Peninsula. #mining ⚒️

  7. I know Minnesotans are always quick to note that our superior state fair gets far more daily attendance than the "largest" state fair in Texas, because Texas just runs theirs for twice as long to get around the same figure.

    But I think it is also noteworthy that while the Minnesota state fair's Wikipedia page talks about the fair, the #Texas state fair's page is essentially just a list of massive controversies. 😂

    On the other hand, I think we keep finding out huge daily attendance is overrated, especially since post-pandemic TikTokers somehow made things like looking at crop art a massive attraction requiring a huge line out the door. That was like the boring thing my mom was into when I was 10 lol

  8. I mean, just look at these apples. The patience and skill of Minnesota apple breeders are legendary.

    'To maintain high quality fruit standards that can be affected by climate, growing sites and production practices, SweeTango® brand Minneiska apples were introduced as a "managed variety". Commercial growers in Minnesota must be licensed to grow Minneiska trees. Growers outside of Minnesota must be licensed members of the growers cooperative, Next Big Thing (NBT).'

  10. Good morning from Minneapolis where Fall has arrived. It's jacket weather. Can decorative gourd season be far behind?

    Quite early Sunday morning it's 56 degrees Fahrenheit; mostly cloudy skies; barometer reads Fair; visibility 10 miles at the airport.

    We stopped at an east-central Minnesota orchard Saturday to purchase a peck of SweeTangoes so apple pies are in the offing. Best time of the year, is apple season.

    "SweeTango® brand Minneiska apples are produced from a Minneiska variety developed by the University of Minnesota. This variety has great parentage as a cross between two stars of the University of Minnesota apple breeding program: the Honeycrisp apple and the Zestar!® apple (Minnewashta variety). SweeTango® fruit offers another superior apple-eating experience—a satisfying crunch and a juicy blast of sweet-tart flavor."

  12. The historic Rapidan Dam failed and was seriously damaged by severe flooding of the Blue Earth River in June of 2024. An environmental assessment released by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, found that “removal would have a long-term beneficial effect on environmental resources by removing a now-obsolete structure, restoring the project embankments and reestablishing the river channel.”
