Transformative impacts of education: College of Menominee Nation celebrates 30th anniversary
PRESS TIMES
GREEN BAY – The College of Menominee Nation (CMN) — one of 32 fully accredited tribal colleges and universities in the nation and one of two in the state — celebrated its 30th anniversary on March 3 and will continue throughout the year of 2023.
March 3 represented the first day that CMN opened its doors for classes and is known as their official Charter Day. CMN is considered to be a land grant institution, a term coined by federal legislation.
“There’s a land grant institution in every state of the United States,” said CMN President Christopher Caldwell. “They were created through legislation, so you’ll hear them referred to as [Morrill Act] colleges, allocating lands to these universities to develop and offer an education. Eventually, in 1994, there was an act passed that created the tribal colleges and universities. So we’re often referred to as the 1994 land grant institutions... Encourage Educational Attainment

Wisconsin food, forestry producers export record amount in 2022
WISCONSIN PUBLIC RADIO
Wisconsin agricultural and forestry producers set a new record high for exports last year, topping the previous record in 2021.
The state Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection reported that U.S. Census trade data shows food, forestry and agriculture exports totaled nearly $4.22 billion in 2022, up 7 percent from the previous year.
