President Trump has announced a $12 billion farm aid package aimed at growers hurt by the trade war with China, support that will directly affect Michigan's soybean and row-crop producers. The plan will provide one-time, per-acre payments capped at $155,000 per farm, with the money expected to move by the ned of February. Michigan farmers have faced higher costs and weaker export demand, and farm groups say the aid helps but doesn't resolve those market pressures.

A new interactive map from the Great Lakes PFAS Action Network aims to help Michigan anglers quickly see whether their fishing spot has a PFAS-related history. The tool highlights waters with "Do Not Eat" warnings or limits on fish consumption, reflecting more than 780 advisories statewide after new health guidelines took effect this summer. GLPAN says awareness is still low and is calling for better outreach, standardized signs, and printed guides for bait shops.

Younger adults struggled just as much with physical functioning months later, and actually had higher odds of sleep disturbances than older patients.

New court filings in Wexford County reveal disturbing details in the killing of 38-weeks-pregnant Rebecca Park. Investigators say her body was found near where she disappeared on November 3rd, and her unborn son is still missing. Court documents say Courtney Bartholomew told detectives that Bradly Bartholomew killed Park in retaliation against her fiancé, and that she then removed the baby after Park died. She said Bradley later discarded the infant. Bradley has blamed Courtney. Courtney also said Park's sister and fiancé were not involved, though Kimberly is accused of lying to the police. All four people connected to the case are set to appear in court today.
