Frei Urges Leaders in Washington to Stand With Biofuels Workers

Submitted by admin on Wed, 05/20/2020 - 7:51am

Dear Editor,
With people across the country confined to their homes, fewer drivers are on the roads. That has caused a massive plunge in biofuels demand, and it’s sparking a major crisis for rural communities across the Corn Belt. Ethanol biorefineries are cutting production, grain prices are down, and family farms are struggling to survive. The result is economic devastation for local communities and hardship for the roughly 29,000 Wisconsin families that the biofuels industry supports.

Submitted by admin on Wed, 05/20/2020 - 7:45am

The New Glarus Chamber of Commerce and Swiss Center of North America are sad to announce the postponement of the 175th Anniversary of New Glarus celebration weekend this year.
In a joint decision between organizing committees in New Glarus and Canton Glarus, it was agreed to be safest to postpone, due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and travel restrictions.
We’re planning on celebrating ‘175+1’ from July 29 – August 1, in 2021, instead - we hope to see you there!
