Cattle Anthrax In North Dakota & USDA Farm Expenses More Anthrax In North Dakota Last weekend, the state of North Dakota confirmed its second case of anthrax this year in a beef cattle herd in Stark County, according to the state veterinarian's office. North Dakota State Veterinarian Dr. Ethan Andress urged producers in counties with past cases to consult veterinarians about vaccination and to be alert for unusual livestock deaths. He emphasized that effective vaccines are available but require more than a week to build immunity, with boosters needed annually for continued protection. North Dakota Agriculture Commissioner Doug Goehring noted that while anthrax occurs most often in northeastern, southeastern, and south-central North Dakota, it has been detected across nearly every part of the state. A few cases are typically reported each year, though some outbreaks have been much larger, such as in 2005 when more than 500 livestock deaths were confirmed.   REFERENCES: https://www.ksjbam.com/2025/09/29/another-case-of-anthrax-confirmed-in-north-dakota/ https://www.rrfn.com/2025/09/29/more-anthrax-in-nd/ USDA Addresses Farm Expenses Earlier in the week, in Kansas City at the Agriculture Outlook Forum, U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Brooke L. Rollins spoke on the current state of the farm economy in the United States and addressed the ways President Trump is supporting American agriculture. U.S. farm production inputs are significantly more costly than four years ago, putting pressure on farmers' bottom line. Between 2020 and now, seed expenses have increased 18%, fuel and oil expenses increased 32%, fertilizer expenses increased 37%, and interest expenses increased by a whopping 73%. Additionally, labor costs increased 47% since 2020.

In this episode, we're excited to introduce one of our newest team members, Alesia Jarrard. Married for 17 years and mom to three boys, Alesia brings a unique perspective to our community as an adoptee who has firsthand experience with the adoption journey. Alesia's story begins in South Korea, where her parents met while her father was serving in the military. After moving back to Ohio, her early years were marked by instability, including her father's struggles with alcohol, her mother's mental health challenges, and time spent living with her grandparents while her dad was incarcerated. At age five, Alesia's life changed when her adoptive parents, who lived next door to her grandparents, boldly stepped forward and welcomed her into their family. While she describes her adoption experience as positive, she also carries the layers of trauma and the complex relationships that come with being an adoptee. Today, Alesia is living out her calling by serving children and families in Stark County. She began as a board member with Foster Our Community, became an active volunteer with Hope Bridge, and now serves as our Stark County Care Community Coordinator. Join us as Alesia shares her journey of adoption, belonging, and how her story fuels her passion for supporting vulnerable children and families.   Episode Highlights:  Meet one of our newest team members- Alesia  Alesia's New Role at Hope Bridge as Stark County Care Community Coordinator Alesia's Adoptee Story  Navigating relationships with biological families Pastor's Brunch & Learn    Find More on Hope Bridge: Pastor & Ministry Leader Brunch & Learn with Bishop W.C.

Send us a textAfter a brief hiatus in March, I'm back with exciting updates about what's happening at Brewtifully Made! The walls of the studio are now adorned with our April exhibit – the 2025 Itty Bitty Art Exhibby, featuring miniature artwork from talented creators across Stark County. From micro crocheting to tiny concrete sculptures, these diminutive masterpieces showcase incredible skill and creativity. Stop by anytime this month to view the collection with our complimentary programs and magnifying glasses, and perhaps even create your own tiny artwork to add to our growing display.My personal passion for miniatures runs deep – with six dollhouses at home and countless hours spent crafting detailed models and scenes. There's something profoundly mindful and soothing about working on such a small scale, watching intricate worlds emerge from tiny components. This shared joy with my husband, who creates 3D models and miniature accessories, has inspired much of what we do at the studio.Beyond the exhibit, we've launched Free Face Painting Fridays throughout April, welcoming both children and adults to stop by between 5-9 pm for some creative fun. The studio will be closed Easter weekend (April 19-20) for family time, and I'll be attending the Rebloom art conference in Kentucky from May 4-9 – an incredible opportunity to connect with fellow artists and gather fresh inspiration.The most significant news, however, is my upcoming retirement from healthcare on June 30th after a decade in the field. While bittersweet to leave wonderful colleagues behind, I'm thrilled to dive fully into this art journey. Brewtifully Made was born from my desire to create a space where creativity happens immediately – no hour-long drive home before you can start your project. Whether you want to try a craft before investing in supplies, rediscover a forgotten passion, or simply need a cheerleader for your creative endeavors, that's exactly what we're here for.Looking for updates on classes, events and special offers?
