It’s a Bird, It’s a Plane, No, It’s a Crop Duster

Have you wondered what the helicopters have been doing darting in and out of corn fields the last few weeks? Area farmers are having their fields crop dusted which helps prevent diseases in order to prepare for a bountiful harvest this fall. I had the opportunity to chat with a local agronomist on the benefits of crop dusting and also got to see the corn fields dusted first-hand.

Plum Creek Archery Hits Bulls Eye

There is a new kid on the block in Dyersville’s downtown business district. Plum Creek Archery which was formerly located next to Radio Shack moved into the former Evers Toy Store, a historic landmark for the Dyersville community just two months ago.

Last night, owners Tom, Ben and Bruce Goldsmith hosted a grand re-opening of their new location which featured food, drinks and live music performed by Nashville duo Billy and Kari.

I had the opportunity to chat with owner, Tom Goldsmith on his thoughts on his new spacious digs.

Plum Creek Archery is open Tues-Fri from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m., Sat 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Sun 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. You can also reach the Goldmsmiths at 563-875-7525 or at pcastaff@plumcreekarchery.com.
