📰 News we're reading
• Rural Idaho drivers hit hard by high fuel costs (ktvb.com) — Twin Falls drivers are paying an average of $4.92 per gallon, just shy of the $5 mark after a sharp 17-cent jump in a week, as rural Idaho sees some of the state's highest fuel costs. AAA Idaho blames surging crude oil prices and expensive diesel deliveries, with several other cities trailing just behind Twin Falls at the pump. 
• Freight Market Alert: Why US Tender Rejections Are Skyrocketing (freightwaves.com) — Twin Falls is singled out as a key refrigerated freight corridor contributing to a nationwide spike in rejected shipping tenders, which can eventually push up transportation costs for local shippers and receivers. Analysts say an unusually strong post–Labor Day shipping surge and tight capacity, especially for refrigerated loads tied to harvest season, are driving higher spot rates across the country.
• Buhl's Sunset Butte Ranch Honored with Idaho Century Farm Award (kmvt.com) — A long-running family farm in nearby Buhl just earned Idaho's Century Farm Award and now supplies organic feed to a dairy in Twin Falls, tying its success directly to the local agricultural economy. Sunset Butte Ranch has evolved into a fully organic operation while keeping five and six generations living on the land and planning for future farmers in the family.
