📰 News we're reading
• Dairy products ‘disappear' — and that's good (nwestiowa.com) — An Iowa State University dairy specialist based in Orange City explains why “disappearance” of dairy products in federal data actually signals strong demand, not a vanishing act. He breaks down how cheese, butter, yogurt, and other products are driving near-record dairy use even as fluid milk declines, highlighting trends that matter to local farmers, processors, and consumers. 
• Sioux Center Ranked Iowa's Safest City Again, Orange City Second (kiwaradio.com) — Orange City has been named the second-safest city in Iowa, just behind neighboring Sioux Center, in new rankings based on national crime data. The report shows Orange City with very low violent and property crime rates for its size. Local leaders in Sioux County credit strong community involvement and a culture of looking out for one another for the region’s standout safety record.
