<link>http://www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/8733/20070216/a-long-valentine-apos-s-day-for-the-plowmen</link>
<description><![CDATA[ (Feb 16, 2007) We&apos;ve been hearing about the emergency workers and road crews who&apos;ve been hard at work the last couple of days, digging out from the Valentine&apos;s Day snowstorm. The guys on the front line of that effort are the plow drivers who worked round the clock struggling to keep roads and highways open.  Brian Mann hitched a ride for a couple of hours on a plow in Saranac Lake.  He sent this audio postcard.

<description><![CDATA[ (May 25, 2006) When you drive across the North Country at this time of year, you’ll see some farm fields already green with shoots.  Others are deep brown and ready for seeding.  Some haven’t changed since winter.  Soils vary according to microregion.  Some of the last fields to be tilled are near Gouverneur, where the clay soil is cool and wet.  That’s where farmer Bob Andrews lives.  David Sommerstein hopped on his tractor for this month’s edition of A Year on the Farm.

<link>http://www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/6621/20051220/state-says-towns-overpay-for-snowplows</link>
<description><![CDATA[ (Dec 20, 2005) A new audit issued by the state comptroller&apos;s office has found that north country towns are paying tens of thousands of dollars too much for new snow plows. Alan Hevesi blamed the over-spending on a flawed bidding system used by local governments.  The report found that several towns failed to buy their new trucks from the lowest bidder. Brian Mann has details. [<strong><a href="http://www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/6621/20051220/state-says-towns-overpay-for-snowplows">full story</a></strong>]]]></description>
