🌟Rural Economy
🌟Rural Housing
🌟Rural Infrastructure
🌟Recreation and Conservation or
🌟The overall future vision of rural Adair County

Please complete the survey via the QR code or visit https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/RuralAdairCountySurvey . A paper copy can also be obtained from the Auditor's Office.

Please be careful over the next day or two as it will be very hot and dry!

Warm, windy and dry conditions this weekend will lead to elevated fire weather danger, especially in cropland on Saturday. Temperatures will be in the 80s to low 90s, with winds Saturday gusting over 30-35 mph, highest north and west. Fires can easily ignite and spread in these conditions, so extra caution should be taken when using farm equipment, and any burning should be avoided.

Please share: Do you want to offer help to your neighbors? If you're able to give financially, the Nodaway Valley Ministerial Association manages a helping fund for our NV neighbors needing help with utilities, rent, and other life essentials. Our funds are very low at this time. If you can be generous, checks or cash can be marked for the Nodaway Valley Ministerial Association and given to any churches in the NVMA or to FNB.

🚒 City of Greenfield officials have an update on the fire station project at the most recent council meeting.

👟👟 Nodaway Valley Cross Country's boys team is ranked 17th in Class 1A with goals set high coming into the last portion of the regular season. They have their home meet and conference meet still to come, both at Greenfield Golf and Country Club.
