The agriculture industry affects not only one of Caldwell’s local workforce arms, but every human who eats.

New data shows that farmers’ share of the money consumers spend on food continues to shrink, even as expenses rise. The latest Market Intel from Farm Bureau economists shows that in 2024 farmers and ranchers received a combined 5.8 cents of every food dollar after accounting for expenses, down from 5.9 cents in 2023. 📰 https://bit.ly/4rQJ5zU

Now that spring has officially sprung, the Caldwell Clean-Up Brigade is gearing up for the first of many efforts to help spruce up our great community, with Kim White leading the charge.

They’ve already canvassed the community and identified a few areas they’d like to help clean up. You may see door stickers placed so they can connect with property owners ahead of time.

The Brigade will be focusing on alley junk and limbs during this coming CUB Day on Thursday, March 26.

If you could use a few extra hands — or if you’d like to lend a hand — get in touch with Kim White to be added to the list!

Caldwell's downtown is getting some LOVE!
"These ol' Bones" have stood for over a century and are the center of this Border Queen. Keeping them updated is an investment in our community that keeps on giving.

Caldwell is definitely worth it!

The Kansas Main Street team recently visited Caldwell, Kansas while traveling around Sumner County for part of the pilot Countywide Main Street program. Caldwell has some beautiful building stock worth preserving!
