MPCC RAFFLE CAR IN TRENTON

The Mid-Plains Community College raffle car is headed to Southwest Nebraska this weekend. The 1969 Ford Mustang Convertible will start out at Trenton from 4-9 p.m. Friday at the Good Life Marina for the 13th annual Dam Car Show. From there, the Mustang will travel to the Arapahoe Car Show in Arapahoe. It will be on display in the city park from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday. The car will be in Curtis on Tuesday. It will be set up at Curtis Collision from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., Herrick Auto and Marine from 2-4 p.m. and the Yellow Rose beginning at 5 p.m. The car is touring the state this summer, making appearances at car shows, parades and cruise night events. The state allows MPCC to conduct the raffle within a 90-day window. A total of 10,000 raffle tickets will be offered at a price of $10 each. Proceeds will be used for scholarships for students in the college's transportation programs and to help offset the cost of producing the next raffle car project. Tickets are sold everywhere the vehicle is displayed. A schedule is posted at mpcc.edu/ community/npcc-classic-car-projects/car-raffle. Tickets can also be purchased in the welcome centers at any of MPCC's campuses in McCook, North Platte, Broken Bow, Imperial, Ogallala and Valentine.

FARMLAND VALUES SLIP

Farmland values slipped some during the first half of this year in

Iowa, Nebraska, and South Dakota. However, Farm Credit Services

of America says overall that the market for cropland values contin-

ues to make adjustments to the current agricultural economy. The

value of the 64 benchmark farms that FCSA keeps track of declined

an average of 0.59 percent in the first half of this year. Since the

farmland market peaked back in 2013, cropland values have

dropped 20 percent in Iowa, 21 percent in Nebraska, and 12 per-

McCook Humane Society cent in South Dakota in the company's benchmark farmland study.

Tim Koch, FCSA's Chief Credit Officer, says, "Despite continued tight commodity price margins in 2018, real estate values remained stable and were supported by favorable interest rates, market facilitation payments, and equilibrium in supply and demand for real estate."
