#DYK: Carrots were originally purple?! 1,000 years ago carrots were domesticated in Afghanistan traditionally in colors of purple, yellow and white. It wasn't until the 17th century that a strain of carrot was developed with more beta carotene which created the orange carrot!

Many farmers have received damage or loss of barns, sheds & grain storage due to heavy snow loads and/or high winds. As a result, they may be eligible for low interest loans by contacting their county FSA office. @MNagriculture is working to make assistance programs available.
