Congratulations to our Farm 40 Free Winner, Jason Olsem of Heron Lake! Jason wins over $11,400 in prizes. Literally everything he needs to farm 40 acres. We had such an amazing event out at PM Repair yesterday. The networking and community connection was outstanding. We could not have done this without all of our sponsors. Every year it just gets better. We gave away approximately 75 door prizes donated by our exhibitors and sponsors and had lunch. Once we get Jason in studio we will have a sit down and let you join in his reaction! All I gotta say is he owes his Mom and Dad a great lunch! It was a pleasure meeting them! Once again, Congratulations to Jason Olsem of Heron Lake our 2025 Farm40Free Winner.

Redwood County Sheriff’s Office reported an injury accident on the 188th at approximately 10:44am. The Redwood County Sheriff’s Office responded to a 2-vehicle crash at the intersection of County State Access Highway 13 and County State Access Highway 16. A 2013 GMC Yukon driven by a 37-year-old female from Redwood Falls was traveling South on CSAH 13 when a 2013 Kia Sorento driven by an 82-year-old male from Clements MN went through the stop sign to turn south on CSAH 13. The Yukon then struck the Sorento near the front passenger side causing severe disabling damage to both vehicles. The driver of the Yukon was transported to the hospital via ambulance with what was thought to be non-life-threatening injuries. Damage to both vehicles was estimated over $1,000. The Redwood County Sheriff’s Office was assisted by the Morgan Fire Department, Centra Care Ambulance, and the Minnesota State Patrol.
