Joe Christopher, senior grain merchandiser at Crossroads Cooperative estimated that the local harvest is 85 percent complete. The yields are very good this year, he said. Many farmers are bringing...
For 11-year-old Camille Highby, a less than stellar weekend turned into national publication of one of her drawings. Highby's drawing, titled Silly Sea Horse was featured in the Your Own Pages section of the July edition of Highlights magazine.

There was a copy of Highlights sitting next to her on that day, so she decided to create a picture to submit to the magazine. "I remembered reading about a seahorse at the...
