Nebraska butcher shop adds 3 new meat vending machines
HOWELLS, Neb. (KCAU) — When you visit a vending machine, you would typically expect chips, candy or beverages to be on sale. But there are some machines at one Nebraska butcher shop that offer something a little different. Faltin Meat Market in Howells, Nebraska has installed new meat vending machines inside what's known as the 'Meat Room.' 73rd Abu Bekr Shrine Circus underway at the Tyson Events Center 'I have two of the machines that are refrigerated, so they're holding temperature well below 40 degrees,' Faltin Meat Market owner Ryan Baumert said. 'And then I have a vending machine behind me that is frozen. And so it's holding, you know, negative numbers.' The 24/7 Meat Room was recently opened to the public, with three vending machines offering products such as fresh meats and cheeses. Baumert said he was thinking for quite some time about a variety of ways to offer the store's products to customers after store hours. 'The idea came actually from an article in the Midwest Messenger back in I think 2018, where it talked about a processor in Wisconsin doing a similar idea,' he said. After buying the machines from a company in Des Moines, Baumert and his wife got to work. However, they were quickly met with some challenges. 'We've had to do some tweaking as we were building the machines,' Baumert said. 'Once they got on site, we had to figure out which products could go on what level of the machine so they fell properly and which coils would dispense them. So my wife and I spent a couple of months just prepping the machines to make it work for our products.' Baumert says business has been booming and has surprisingly helped the local bars. 'We have a bar just down the street,' Baumert said. 'The bar owner and I were talking, he was excited and said after my grill closes, maybe my folks will come down to you, get something and then they can bring it back and keep drinking their drinks. And he talked to me a couple of weeks ago and said that is the case and it's been working out pretty well.' Baumert said he hopes the machines will bring more people into town. How to get your pool ready for the summer 'Stop here and then maybe take a look around our town and see what we have for other businesses, if there's something that might fit their needs and look around the town and see if it's someplace that maybe they want to move to, maybe they want to settle here and try and help the community,' he said. Baumert says he has plans to possibly add more machines in the future. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Harassment and vandalism not an issue for Siouxland Tesla owners
SIOUX CITY, Iowa (KCAU) – Since the beginning of the year, people have protested at Tesla dealerships around the world in response to Tesla owner Elon Musk and his role in the 'Department of Government Efficiency' or 'DOGE'.

UPDATE: Iowa Attorney General says Sioux City PD officer-involved shooting was justified Sioux City doesn't have a Tesla dealership but does have one Tesla charging station located at the Casey's on Southern Hills Drive. Aaron Hasse of Sioux City has had his Tesla a little over a year and said he hasn't had any issues with harassment or vandalism and loves his Tesla. 'Even if that was the case, I wouldn't get rid of it. I don't see myself ever going back to a regular car. I just like it so much,' Hasse said. 'I believe in the technology, and I believe in the mission which is to be American made 100-percent.' Reg and Rose Robertson of Shawnee, Kansas have owned two Teslas the last seven years. 'I love it. It's easy to drive and it's nice and quiet. I like not having to stop for gas. Do have to charge, but it doesn't take long,' Rose Robertson said. It's saved me money not going in and buying snacks and everything. I love it.' 73rd Abu Bekr Shrine Circus underway at the Tyson Events Center They haven't been harassed and don't agree with the vandalism that is happing to Tesla and Tesla car owners. 'A peaceful protest is fine. Destroying stuff is not. That's basically it,' Reg Robertson said. 'I agree. It's fine to have your opinion if you want to protest. But to vandalize people's property is inappropriate. It's just not right,' Rose Robertson said Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
