Correction

A story that began on Page A1 of Wednesday’s print edition incorrectly identified the director of the Sanford Clinic of Mitchell. His name is Matt Ditmanson.

Clarification

A story that began on Page A1 of the March 2 print edition included information about Dakota Hay Auction. Ben Ymker, of Corsica, is an independent hay order buyer. He has done business with Dakota Hay Auction, which is owned by Willie Groeneweg and has been in business since 2010. Its auctions are promoted on dakotahayauction.com.
