U.S. Department of Agriculture Farm Service Agency State Executive Director Brad Thykeson has announced that ranchers and livestock producers may be eligible for assistance from the Livestock Forage Disaster Program (LFP) for grazing losses incurred in 2018.

General Game and Habitat License Required for Deer Hunters Deer hunters are reminded of a state law that requires hunters to purchase a general game and habitat license before receiving a deer license. North Dakota Century Code 20.1-03-02 reads “a person may not acquire any resident or nonresident license to hunt, catch, take or kill any small game or big game animal unless that person first obtains an annual general game license.” The North Dakota Game and Fish Department will only mail deer licenses after the general game and habitat lic...
On Dec. 24, 1901, Hugh Kennedy caught his right hand in G.W. Brownell’s new feed mill and lost the nails and some of the flesh off two fingers. Kennedy had been trying to free some grain that had frozen to the sheet iron slide when his hand slipped between the rollers. Fred Belcher came up from Carrington to work on the “Eddy County Provost.” Oscar Bauer arrived for the holidays from Nome, N.D., where he was the manager of the Monarch Elevator; he had arrived in Carrington via the Soo Line...
Oct. 9, 2018 — On a cold winter night in 1910, a 600-pound meteorite lying on a sidewalk in Carrington disappeared and was never seen again. Thousands of meteors enter Earth’s atmosphere every single day, but only a few survive to actually hit the dirt. On this date in 1992, for example, thousands of people heard a sonic boom, then watched as a meteor burst into flames and streaked across eastern skies. As the meteor hurtled toward New York, more than a dozen people captured it on film. Before falling into Peekskill, 50 miles north of New Yor...

Here are some tips that can help you spot a scam, and what you c...
How is it that the busiest people seem to get the most things done? Have you ever noticed that? I have a cousin who works a full-time job, traveling across country. She’s away from home a lot. While she’s gone, she makes the most of these trips and soaks in the places and things that she hasn’t seen before. Her Facebook posts are always interesting, with pictures of new and interesting “roads less traveled” types of places. Not long ago, she posted pictures of a mama bear with cubs just across t...
We know the importance of winterizing our homes and vehicles as the cold weather approaches, but in order to get through the harsh winter, trees need some extra care, too. The USDA Plant Hardiness Zone map is based on the average annual minimum winter temperature. For North Dakota, the northern tier is Zone 3 (-35 to -30 F) while the southern two-thirds of the state is Zone 4 (-30 to -25 F). Here are some cold weather tips for trees: 1. Focus on younger trees. With less extensive root s...
From Oct. 12 to 31, law enforcement agencies across the state will have extra patrols to enforce the law on underage drinking, as well as conducting compliance checks and shoulder taps as a part of the Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over enforcement campaign. This enforcement effort is to remind teens that drinking alcohol underage is illegal. Law enforcement will also educate teens that no matter your age, driving under the influence of alcohol is not only illegal but also dangerous. If teens are found to be consuming or in possession of alcohol,...
