BIrd Flu Staus On Minnesota Dairy
The U.S. Department of Agriculture has changed the bird flu status of Minnesota's dairy herds from affected to unaffected. After four straight months of sampling raw milk, the USDA has changed Minnesota's status. The move means the Minnesota Department of Agriculture will reduce how frequently it tests milk samples. Testing was taking place monthly, but will now be reduced to approximately every two months. Federal restrictions on animal movement between states remain in effect. One case of H5N1 was detected in a Minnesota dairy herd in March. There have been no positive test results since then. The Minnesota Department of Agriculture says most affected herds in the U.S. have fully recovered, but H5N1 remains deadly in poultry flocks.
Shed Fire
A large shed and all of the equipment inside are considered a total loss after a fire on Wednesday. The Stearns County Sheriff's Office received a report of a structure fire just after 7:30 p.m. Wednesday. Deputies responded to the 38000 block of Thunder Road in Millwood Township, just east of Melrose. Authorities arrived to find heavy smoke coming from inside the shed and heavy fire damage to several parts of the building. Among the equipment inside the shed was a skid loader. The owner, 70-year-old Charla Bueckers of Melrose, was not home at the time of the fire. The cause of the blaze is unknown.
