In celebration of Ag Week, Alliance Bank is highlighting the stories of farmers in our community.
The estimated monthly mortgage payment for a median-priced U.S. home is about 54% higher today than it was just two years ago. These are the states and metros who have been most impacted by high interest rates.
This tax season, millions of Americans have sent in payments to a poorly managed organization that spends trillions more than it receives in revenue. Absurdly, its customers will continue receiving a poor product that causes more problems than it solves. If our federal government was run like a business, these results would be unacceptable and the leaders would be fired.
Tornadoes have impacted all U.S. states during the last decade, save for Alaska, causing $14.1 billion in damages. Half of that damage occurred in just five states: Alabama, Arkansas, Illinois, Mississippi, and Texas, demonstrating the pronounced shift eastward from Tornado Alley to “Dixie Alley”—the area roughly stretching from eastern Texas to the western borders of the Carolinas. It also underscores the growing evidence that global warming is making extreme weather events more frequent or more intense. To find the locations seeing the biggest increase in tornadoes, researchers ranked locations by the total change in high-intensity tornado occurrences from the 20-year period ending in November 2004 to the 20-year period ending in November 2023.
