The Dryer Doctors LLC offer expert service knowledge
Dryer Doctors LLC found its beginnings in 2017, when Josh Bauman, John Keller, and Leon Fokken, all co-workers at Custom Ag left to work for Northern Grain, and only a year and a half later, Northern Grain closed its doors. “We had calls from farmers saying we don’t care if you’re working at Walmart - you’d better figure this out because this fall when we have harvest, you’re going to be in my yard,” says John Keller. “So out of necessity for the farmers, we just said ok.”
Community Matters: A letter from Multimedia Sales Executive Kelly Hosek
I’m Kelly Hosek and I’ve been living in Montevideo for 16 years; I grew up just a town over. I’ve worked for Montevideo American News for almost 7 years and have seen a lot of change and transition. The one thing that hasn’t changed, is that I am and will always be, a small-town girl. Being a part of Montevideo American News has allowed me to be a real part of the community and get to know my community members. Working with our business customers has allowed me to know my community in a very personal way.

From the Editor’s Desk
My sister and I have a joke about how every time I travel, I have encounters with birds. Each of my digital travel albums includes a video in which some bird - usually a very large bird - is following me, (in quite close proximity) while I engage said bird in conversation. In Salem it was a seagull, at Imperial Beach it was a seagull, in Colorado it was a raven, in New York City it was my nosy hotel pigeon, and so on. Because of all of my previous encounters, I assumed that large birds were just friendly beings who like to hang out nearby and hope for snack scraps, like tiny dogs with wings. That is, until last week, when I had to do some work on a third-story balcony belonging to one of the apartments above my boutique.
