The current state of the U.S. wheat market will hit winter wheat farmers in the great plains hard. They may lose money despite having what looks to be their best crop for some time after three years of drought sapped yields and forced farmers to abandon wheat.

Pet portraits could save tainted tattoos

According to a PetSmart survey, 49% of pet parents have or know someone who has experienced tattoo regret. Instead of paying for painful and costly laser removal or finding an expensive artist specializing in reworking existing art, the pet brand believes they’ve found a solution: pet portrait cover-ups.

The brand reported that 58% of the same pet parents who have tattoo regret said they don’t think they’d regret getting a tattoo of their pet.

The PetSmart tattoo redo contest is a promotion to celebrate the launch of PetSmart’s new treats rewards loyalty program, a free membership that allows frequent shoppers to earn and redeem points on purchases.
