📰 News we're reading
• Sowing Sake Success (deere.com) — At England's Isbell Farm, rice grown for sake offers a higher-value alternative when conventional rice prices disappoint. The family negotiates prices directly with brewers and has launched Cypress Creek Milling to sell sake-ready grain, adding value to a crop that yields less and takes longer to harvest than traditional rice. 
• 10 years' probation for former England High School administrator in grooming, assault plea (katv.com) — Former England High School assistant principal Trent Morgan received 10 years of probation after pleading guilty Monday to second-degree sexual assault and sexual grooming of a child. He must also register as a sex offender. The investigation began after a student reported inappropriate behavior and communication to a school resource officer last November.
