Conclusions ............................................................................ 84 Submitted for publication December 17, 1947 SM-2-49 1oreword I This is one in a series of studies carried out in 24 counties which were selected to represent the major type farming areas in the United States. Goodhue County, Minnesota, was selected as one of the five dairy counties. The other dairy counties were Litchfield, Connecticut; Hampshire, Massa­ chusetts; Oneida, New York; and Frederick, Maryland. Counties represent­ ing other types of farming areas were Henry, Indiana; Hamilton, Iowa; and Seward, Nebraska, in the Corn Belt; Ellis, Kansas; Wells, North Dakota; and Franklin, Washington, in the Wheat areas. Val Verde, Texas, and Sweet­ grass, Montana, in the Range-livestock areas. Bell, Texas; Pottawatomie, Oklahoma; Dallas, Alabama; and Union, South Carolina, in the Cotton Belt; Dent, Missouri; Rabun, Georgia; Magoffin, Kentucky; Bradford, Pennsyl­ vania, in the General and Self-sufficing areas. Imperial and Butte in Cali­ fornia in the Western Specialty areas, and LaFource, Louisiana, in a Re­ sidual area. This study of Goodhue County was initiated by the Division of Farm Population and Rural Life of the United States Department of Agriculture, and has been carried to completion with the cooperation of the Division of Rural Sociology of the University of Minnesota Agricultural Experiment Station. The purpose of this and the other studies of the series has been (a) to analyze the types of groups in which rural people are organized and the patterns of group relationships through which they participate in local and nonlocal programs and services, (b) to analyze the ways in which agencies relate themselves and their programs to these types of organizations and patterns of group relationships, (c) to provide a comparison by types of farming areas, of trends in different types of organizations-formal and in­ formal, local and nonlocal, etc., and (d) to interpret the findings for farm people and for action and educational agencies. All of the studies in the series are being made by trained sociologists. In each case the report follows a generally uniform outline. All will present their analyses in keeping with the following major types of organizations: locality groupings, formally organized groups, informal groups and other informal relationships, agencies, institutionalized organizations, and the county as a unit of organization.

  • Star Program 2010
    June 2010 WELCOME PLAYERS, COACHES, FAMILIES, AND FASTPITCH FANS, Thank you for being an enthusiastic and critical component of this year’s All-Star se- ries. Without all of you, this event could not happen. Today, you will see 72 outstanding players from across the state of Minnesota. These players represent the best of the class of 2010 and more than 15,000 girls who play Fastpitch softball. Many of these players have earned All-Conference, All- Section, All-State, and All-State Academic awards. Without the involvement of the Minnesota Coaches Association and its member coaches, these awards and this series of games would not be possible. We are very excited to have this year’s tournament at the great Caswell Park Complex. This is a premier fastpitch location and look forward to many years of the showcase at this location. Moreover, this premier and unique event could not happen without a lot of very hard work. First, the players have dedicated themselves to hours of practice and improvement opportunities. They have also played in hundreds of ASA/USA-MSF sponsored summer league games and tournaments. Second, parents and fans have braved all kinds of weather, long road trips and many meals in the car to see their favorite Fastpitch softball players work toward their very ambitious goals. Finally, we need to give special recognition and thanks to the MSF and MFCA for their countless hours of preparation to see that this event is yet another fantastic memory for all involved. Enjoy the games. Embrace the spirit of competition.
