This is the third of three articles covering the NDSU Research Extension Crop and Soil Field Day on Wednesday, August 25, 2021. Cover Crops: Hans Kandel, NDSU Extension Broadleaf Crop Agronomist, discussed optimal ways to incorporate cover crops. There are many options when it comes to incorporating a cover crop in to your farming operation. You can plant in the fall after harvest with a crop that will grow a bit in the fall or a crop that will overwinter and grow in the spring. You can also plant a cover crop between rows when the crop is small or broadcast at an appropriate time. The best way to get establishment is to plant the seed in the ground. You can broadcast the seed on top of the ground if you have rain, but that is a bit trickier and works best with a small seed, like radish or turnip. The key with broadcasting is moisture. In a normal year, there is a danger of planting the cover crop too early. The best timing is when you see the yellowing of the beans in the bottom, then you know the canopy is going to open up and that would be the best time to fly on a cover crop. This year, with the lack of moisture, you can plant now, and it will not be an issue at harvest. If you have wider row spacing on soybeans, the canopy is going to open up a bit quicker and you can broadcast a bit earlier. If you have an early maturing soybean, it will drop the leaves a little earlier and you can apply

Border opens to US tourists By Linda Timian Republican Writer
The Canadian-American land border closed around the time Sharon Lundgren’s husband passed away. “That border being closed for a year and a half really made a difference in my life,” said Lundgren. She has two sisters and a brother that live in Canada, and she was in the habit of visiting them often. “They would have been a great support for me.” Chalmer and Lori Dettler’s daughter and her family live in Canada, and they had not seen them in over a year. “Prior to this August, we were last up to Winnipeg in July of 2020,” said Chalmer. “Canada was allowing travel from the US under an exemption for 'family reunification'. We were required to stay in Canada for a minimum of 14 days and had to quarantine the first 14 days we were there. We were able to quarantine with our daughter and family at that time. Shortly after we were there in 2020, Canada changed their restrictions. In order to be reunited with family, you were

again required to quarantine for 14 days, but we could not quarantine with our daughter. You were required to quarantine at a location with only the people who traveled to Canada with you.” The Dettlers had tried to visit again in late July of this year but were turned away at the border. On Monday, August 9, Canada began allowing fully vac-
cinated U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents, including those engaging in non-essential travel, to enter Canada from the United States. To be considered fully vaccinated, it must be at least two weeks since the completion of a vaccine series. All travelers crossing into Canada must use the

ArriveCAN system to enter their traveler information before arriving in Canada. ArriveCAN is a free mobile app available for iOS, Android and online. “The ArriveCAN app is very user friendly,” said Chalmer, who has been to Canada twice since August 9. “The information in the ArriveCAN app has to be completed every time you go up. It retains some information but not all of it. You have to load a copy of your passport every time. The app allows you to take a picture of your passport and then pulls your information directly from the passport. You also have to upload proof of full vaccination on the app each time you plan to travel. You’re required to input the dates of your shots, which brand of vaccine you received, and where you received the vaccinations.” Next, you have to have proof of a negative COVID test within 72 hours of the time you arrive at the Canadian border.

can keep it as a crop the next year or simply as a cover crop. Kandel likes winter rye because there are a lot of opportunities to utilize it in many different crops at different stages. It gives you a benefit in the fall, overwinters well, and gives you cover in the spring. Kandel favors the radish for a brassica type cover crop because it makes a nice root system, mellows the ground, grows late into the season, and will die so that you do not have to deal with it in the spring. The root system includes a long tap root that helps water infiltrate in the spring making a pathway for the moisture to move into the soil. Only a small input is needed. However, brassicas are a host to canola clubroot and should not be used in fields with a history of canola clubroot. There are a lot of charts with varying seeding rates. It depends on if you are going to seed by air or drill and how you are going to use the plants. Kandel generally suggests about 60 pounds for rye and 1.5-2 pounds for radish. Salt-Tolerant Options: Naeem Kalwar, Extension soil health specialist, talked about high levels of water-soluble salt (salinity), high levels of sodium (sodicity), and the trials he is conducting on annual and perennial crops that grow or do not grow in such soils. Water-soluble salts compete with plant roots for water. The higher the salt levels, the more competition there is. If you leave the ground bare, more ground water will wick up bringing more cont. on page 2

Special meeting held at Langdon Area High School for community members By Kristi Mostoller Republican Writer A special meeting was held at the high school on September 13 at 8:00 p.m. The meeting was a request for concerned community members to voice their thoughts and opinions on the current plans for COVID-19 precautions. When the meeting started, a brief speech asking the public to be respectful to the board as they are doing what they feel is the best plan. Each speaker was given 5 minutes of time to express their concerns. The first speaker was Public Health Nurse Steph Welsh. She gave an update on county COVID numbers, which are down, and how we would like to keep them down. She supported the mask requirement followed by the school, masked while in motion if there are 5 or more cases in the school or 40 cases in the community, as the best and easiest way to keep school open. Currently, 30-40% of 12-year-old to 18-year-old children in Cavalier County are vaccinated. There is a lot of research working on getting the vaccine approved for under 12 years of age, but there is no set date when that will be. The next speakers were a group of students. They stated that they will wear the masks if they have to and be respectful of the board’s decisions. They did share concerns in consistency with after-school activities and that it really didn’t make sense. The students would like it to be up to parents and students to have the choice but would also like to stay in school as well. A point was made that 5 cases out of 400 total students seemed to be a low percentage when masking would be required. Jason Spanier has been very concerned about the board implementing masking and feels that it takes away their rights as parents to make choices their children. All parents want their children to be safe. Anytime kids go out and play they’re always at risk of harm. It should be the parent’s choice to know those risks and make their own decision. That conversation should be between parents and their children. Making the masks mandatory once numbers hit takes that conversation away that should be a parent’s choice and right. Jason also mentioned that the board need to be consistent and to lead by example. Jason, along with some attendees, would like masking to be a parent, student, or teacher choice. Abby Borchardt pointed out that a parent’s right and the role of the school board should be 2 different things. Bor-
chardt feels implementing masks on students is an inappropriate decision for the board to make. Although opinions are different, she did mention we should still all be kind to one another. Greg Goodman started by thanking the board and public health for all they do. Goodman is not anti-mask or anti-vaccine but believes 5 cases total from elementary, middle, and high school is too low. Changing the number to per building and possible other enhancements for vaccinated students and staff would be appropriate. Like other statements, consistency for sports and co-op was brought up as a concern. Kassie Spanier spoke concerning the effectiveness of masks and the conflict on personal health freedom. Spanier spoke on children’s speech being affected by masking and what that may lead to. Parents are responsible for health, and the school is responsible for educating. Whitney Bachman is fighting for the right for kids to mask or not. Young children do not know how to wear masks properly and cross contamination is inevitable. The risk in mental health has hit everyone hard with the changes COVID has brought. Don’t ask something of her child if you’re not going to follow it yourself. Letters were also read aloud for people unable to attend. Superintendent Daren Christianson read the letters. The Langdon Area Education Association, as a whole, sent a statement of support for the mitigation strategies the board has approved to continue in-school learning and that distance learning is hard on everyone. Lisa Schuler shared concern for the 11-year-olds and younger that don’t have the option to get vaccinated yet. Schuler believes the board has done a great job implementing standards to keep kids in school and healthy by listening to medical professionals. From teaching piano, she saw less people miss lessons last year when masks were worn than any previous years - proving masking keeps transmission down. Kids are resilient, and Schuler hasn’t heard complaints from student she has had. Schuler is sad to see the conflict like this in the community and feels this conflict is affecting kids. Karen Kempert, emergency manager, brought an example in her letter that, though inconvenient, masks are helping. Parents should teach their children to wear masks properly. 99% of people can wear masks, and it really is the easiest, most effective thing we can do to control the
spreading of COVID. Melisssa Entzi’s letter mentioned that nowhere else in town is requiring masks. There were concerns of kids re-wearing masks and how wearing the same mask day after day was not good either. COVID numbers are checked at noon on Fridays, and since the # of students and staff affected was below five last Friday, September 10, masks were able to be taken off while in motion, as the policy states. If the number is 5 or more positive in the school system, masks will be required while in motion. The next regularly scheduled meeting is September 20, 2021.
Langdon City Commission holds short meeting By Kristi Mostoller Republican Writer The Langdon City Commission met September 13th for their scheduled meeting. The street department reported they’ve been mowing and working on equipment for winter. The Activity Center backboards and wall pads are installed. The old backboards will be up for sale. New stage curtains should arrive in October. There have been conflict and harassment charges filed against several individuals by Chelsea Graber who runs and manages the Activity Center. These individuals will be interviewed, and a review will occur for the harassment charges. The city auditor reported a couple different homeowners are behind on payments and an attempt was made to shut off water. With one property the water is off, and the other there will be another attempt now that the yard has been cleaned up and mowed. The Chamber is requesting 1 mil from tax dollars for advertising as that is what was contracted in the past. The discussion was tabled until the full commission was present and chamber member(s) are present. An update from Moore Engineering concerning Phase 1 reported needing to get asphalt transition finished. In Phase 2, they are working with a subcontractor for gutter work and
hoping to be working on gutters next week. The old water plant is down and had been inspected. $78,700 was motioned and approved for the contractor application for payment. The task order agreement had been approved previously but had not been signed. The task order should all be covered by grant dollars. $3,000 was also motioned and approved for rural development. JDA requested $5,000 for the Pembina Gorge Foundation to hire a consultant to manage state and federal funds they will be applying to receive. The state grant money is to be used as leverage for the federal grant. They are hoping to raise 3-4 million dollars to update Frost Fire projects. The $5,000 was motioned and approved to come out of city sales tax. A new vehicle ordinance discussion was tabled. Other ordinances in other communities will be looked at to find a manageable solution. A request to drive golf carts in town for Maple Manor to bring residents to appointments was brought up. The board was very much not on board with this idea as the current ordinance requires vehicles to be street legal and licensed. The ordinance for tobacco sales needs to be changed from 18 to 21 as per state law. This wrapped up the city meeting with the next scheduled meeting to be held September 27th at 7:00 p.m.

Upside Down Under By Marvin Baker
In a place where less is more A residual effect of a recent trip to the VA hospital in Fargo opened my eyes to what I think many people have been misled about in recent years. Instead of driving south to Bismarck and east to Fargo, or east to Grand Forks and south to Fargo, I went southeast to Carrington, followed N.D. Highway 200 to Cooperstown, Finley, and Mayville before coming out on Interstate 29 near Hillsboro. This wasn’t a completely new route, however, as I used to drive that road often while I was a student at the University of North Dakota in the 1980s. Those were the days, when gas was less than $1, and a college student could actually afford it. But those long trips, like the one last week that took me to Fargo, have always been an eye opener on the rugged beauty of the North Dakota countryside. Because we often take the shortest route from point A to point B, we become complacent as we see the same things time after time, and we get so used to driving to the same destinations that we could drive them blindfolded in a blizzard. This is exactly why I occasionally like driving off the beaten path sometimes. After watching numerous communities in the west change so rapidly it makes our heads spin, taking a trip in the opposite direction made me realize that not all of North Dakota has been forever altered. It had been 35 years since I’d been in Cooperstown, Finley, or Mayville and all three of those communities, although showing subtle changes, are still the same communities they were in the 1980s. There’s obviously a healthy economy in all three of those county seats, in three different counties- Traill, Steele and Griggs, respectively. As I was driving and thinking, I wondered how the west can be so dependent on oil when other small North Dakota towns have zero dependence but appear to be doing just fine economically. Farm machinery, grain, a college, outdoor recreation and the like are all flourishing in Cooperstown, Finley, and Mayville - which most likely have a combined population of about 4,000. Maybe
someone could explain to me how people can make a living in those communities? What is generating that economy when there is no oil to depend upon? If you say farming, you're right. But doesn’t everyone in the west have that same opportunity as well, along with ranching? Oil should be a bonus, should it not? I find it really interesting that all these small towns in North Dakota, including Carrington, Harvey, and Fessenden, are making it and even thriving while in the west you continually hear the gloom and doom of economic depression if oil goes away. Driving through Mayville, I spotted a new Cenex C-store, and it was as busy as I've ever seen Cenex in Berthold or Minot. Where are those people coming from and where are they getting money to spend? There isn’t a snowball’s chance in Tucson that oil is driving the economy as far away as Mayville. Arriving in Fargo, I found people to be friendly, polite, courteous, professional. My first thought was - my, how this has changed, but truth be told, it’s the same as it’s always been. We’ve changed in the west. So many people bad mouth Fargo, but look how it has grown throughout the history of the state? Oil isn’t driving that economy, but it’s thriving in North Dakota. Why? The latest census figures show Fargo’s population grew at a rate of 19 percent, and it won’t be long before the population will be 130,000. There’s something to be said about good old Yankee ingenuity, and people will tend to seek out a better life despite what they’ve been dealt. But when everything from gas to ice cream goes through the roof in cost, just because of one industry, you have to wonder how long that can sustain itself. Not everyone earns $100,000 a year, but because we are now living in that circle of inflation, too many people are losing too much money. Waitresses, teachers, journalists, retail workers, nurses will either have to leave or find a job that pays $100,000 to make ends meet. When you’re a nurse living in Williston, earning $24 an hour and struggling to pay rent, there is something seriously wrong with that picture. Those struggling wage earners are starting to realize they can earn more money making $13 an hour than $20 where the cost of living is fair, is based on stability instead of ebbs and floes, and where less is actually more.

Whatever you think about the U.S. Supreme Court’s controversial, 5-4 midnight ruling on the Texas statute forbidding most abortions in the state, one thing is clear: the Court bears, in the name of accountability, the great responsibility of explaining its reasoning to the American people. The Court’s reliance on the “shadow docket,” a historic practice of ruling on emergency petitions, to uphold a novel law that greatly diminishes Roe v. Wade and converts every Texan into a law enforcement official, constituted a sharp departure from the usual process. The Court spent less than three days on the case. There was no oral argument. The opinion was unsigned and a mere paragraph long. Given the Court’s weighty impact on a constitutional battle that has been raging since at least1973, when the Court held that women possess a fundamental right to obtain an abortion, the citizenry had every right to expect more transparency from the nation’s highest tribunal. Justice Hugo Black was fond of reminding his colleagues of the Court’s duty to explain its reasoning in terms that average Americans could understand. “The Constitution was written for the people, not the government,” he often said. For Justice Black, this meant that the Court’s opinions sorting out the meaning of constitutional provisions and language should be clearly written in the name of transparency and accountability. Justice Black’s view of the responsibility of the Court to explain its reasoning was shared by Chief Justice John Marshall, who served as Chief from 1801-1835, and is universally regarded by scholars as the greatest Chief Justice in American history. Marshall took this duty so seriously that, in response to what he regarded as stinging, but confused, criticism of his landmark opinion in 1819, in McCulloch v. Maryland, he picked up his pen and wrote a pseudonymous defense of
Dear Editor, Biden Vaccination Mandate May Pit Employers Against State Laws, Disenfranchises Biden administration vaccination mandates may place employers, in some states, between the proverbial “rock and hard place” of federal pronouncements and state regulations, if they survive court challenges. In the interim they create uncertainty for businesses and employees alike. The mandates, issued by executive orders, for federal and government contractor employers are vague, deferring the actual policy to guidance which will be provided by the Safer Federal Workforce Task Force at a later date. Both will likely be the subject of intensive court challenges. An announced Department of Labor rulemaking is poised to

it under the name, “A Friend to the Union” in a series of op-ed pieces. He wrote these newspaper columns in the name of transparency and accountability. McCulloch v. Maryland, one of the most important Supreme Court rulings in our history--for its treatment of fundamental constitutional principles and resolution of historic arguments about federalism, the scope of congressional authority and the exercise of judicial power in the interpretation of the Constitution—generated immediate and heated criticism. Suffice it to say that critics, including James Madison and Virginia’s leading Judge, Spencer Roane, thought Marshall’s opinion declared that Congress possessed authority to increase its constitutionally limited powers. Chief Justice Marshall was alarmed by these criticisms, precisely because he believed nothing of the sort. Nor did he believe that his opinion for the Court had intimated any such conclusion. The point of his opinion was to state that Congress enjoyed considerable latitude in choosing the means by which it could exercise its enumerated powers, not that Congress could invent new powers for itself. In sum, no branch of government possessed authority to revise its constitutionally granted authority. Marshall fretted. What could he do, given the Court’s institutional understanding that its opinions alone speak for the Court? But Marshall found the public confusion so disturbing, so threatening to the constitutional system and particularly harmful to the Court’s reputation, that he decided to engage in an extra-judicial measure by further explaining the Court’s reasoning in newspaper columns. These were the only newspaper replies in his storied judicial career. Marshall’s pseudonymous newspaper explanations, so knowledgeable of the Court’s discussion of foundational constitutional issues, and so thorough in their explanations of the Court’s reasoning, inspired speculation about their author. Who could possibly know so much about the Court’s reasoning and conclusions? At the time, nobody guessed that it was none other than Chief Justice Marshall himself. Indeed, nobody knew the identity of the author of the op-ed pieces signed under the name, “A Friend

also create vaccination and testing requirements for many companies. While the future of the two orders and the rule are uncertain, they are projected to impact nearly a third of Americans. Instead of creating a requirement for citizens to be vaccinated directly, they force employers to enact and enforce policies to require employee vaccinations or testing. If they don’t, employers risk fines and lose government contracts. It seems all but certain that some Republican controlled states will attempt to combat these orders with state-level laws or regulations. Depending on the final rules, some states may already have conflicting regulations in place. While federal laws typically override state ones, the federal government must have the legal authority to issue them – also, executive orders aren’t laws, they are directives to agencies. While this is an intricate topic, at least one challenge may be presented by the Supreme Court’s decision in South Dakota v. Dole, where it held that regulations tied to funding must be “germane to the federal interest in the particular national projects or programs to which the money is directed” and “not cross the line from enticement to impermissible coercion”. Depending on what they say, the Labor regulations may suffer from federal power limitations. They could potentially even result in federal liability as a seizure of personal liberty over citizens’ bodies. Forcing people to choose between employment and personal medical decisions, for most, is not really a choice. While the very wealthy may not be employees (rather business owners or investors) and others from affluent backgrounds may be able to resort to personal savings, most Americans need their job to survive. Those from economically disadvantaged backgrounds and members of
to the Union,” until Gerald Gunther, a renowned constitutional scholar then teaching in the Stanford Law School, stumbled upon them in 1967 while conducting research for his biography of the legendary federal judge, Learned Hand. While working through the collection of Hand’s papers, Gunther found Marshall’s essays sandwiched between some documents that had nothing to do with McCulloch v. Maryland. In 1968, Gunther published the essays in his book, “John Marshall’s Defense of McCulloch v. Maryland.” For all of you who have ever experienced the great joy and surprise of finding a delightful book on the shelves of a library or in a bookstore, imagine Professor Gunther’s jubilation in finding Marshall’s oped pieces. Talk about a library coup! Marshall’s extraordinary efforts to inform the public of the Court’s reasoning in McCulloch, to bring a halt to the misunderstanding of its rulings on fundamental constitutional issues, represents a fulfillment of the judicial duty, in the name of transparency and accountability, to explain its opinions to the American people. Marshall’s extra-judicial elaboration of the Court’s reasoning, however, is not without criticism. After all, if individual members of the Court decide to comment on the Court’s opinions, perhaps bringing a different version of the Court’s legal conclusions than those printed on paper, the result might well be confusion. More than that, if Justices offer competing views of the Court’s reasoning, what happens to the meaning of the “authoritative” Supreme Court opinion? Indeed, what happens to the principle that the Court’s opinions speak for the Court? Those are issues for another time, but it is clear that the citizenry is better off with a full explanation of how and why the Court resolves the legal issues before it.

minorities who have a heightened level of government distrust will likely be among the most negatively affected. Ironically, while using federal spending power as a basis for control, the Biden administration fails to take an approach which could be far less objectionable: pay people to be vaccinated. Instead of heavy-handed regulations, the federal government could implement a market-based solution that provides citizens with a clear incentive while maintaining personal choice over health decisions. Biden could follow the lead of numerous private sector firms and state governments and create a national vaccination incentive plan. The government could offer whatever it feels is justified compensation to individuals to get vaccinations while leaving citizens – and their doctors – free to make health decisions. NDSU offered students an incentive and nearly half of on-campus students have already signed up, only weeks into the program and over a monthand-a-half before it ends. While there is clear precedent for using spending power to promote change – one example is the use of highway funding to get states to raise their legal drinking ages – the recent announcement sets a precedent that everyone should be concerned about. While many Democrats may support the current mandate, they likely would oppose a future president’s use of this technique to promulgate an abortion ban or numerous other regulations. Offering an incentive is simply better policy and aligned with key American concepts like states’ rights and personal liberty.

Cavalier County Republican By Katie Henry NDSU Extension Family and Community Wellness Agent Eat Smart, Play Hard It’s been fun being back in the classrooms again working with students in the school. The “On the Move” programs that were developed by NDSU Extension includes education for school-age children of all ages and focuses on nutrition and physical activity. A key point of helping the students remember what they should do includes the concept of “Eat Smart, Play Hard.” The program is all about making good eating choices and keeping our bodies moving so that we can be as healthy as possible, both as a child as well as through our adult years. According to the Center for Disease Control (CDC), about 1 in 5 American children has obesity (https://www.cdc.gov/nccdphp/ dnpao/features/childhood-obesity/index.html). Obesity has been attributed to things such as a diet high in sugars and lack of adequate physical activity. Childhood obesity has been shown to contribute to health issues such as asthma, type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and mental health concerns, among others. “On the Move” programs are designed to help combat the behaviors and habits that may lead to those diseases and help families get support for healthful lifestyles. Some things the CDC recommends that can be done at home to combat childhood obesity and that are taught through the “On the Move” programs, are the following: 1. Eat the Rainbow. Vary the fruits and vegetables eaten by using the color of the rainbow as your guide. MyPlate is a great resource that demonstrates how half of a person’s plate should be fruits and vegetables every meal. Varying those fruits and vegetables ensures a variety of nutrients as well as taste. 2. Keep Moving. Staying active helps burn the calories that are consumed, but it’s also great for muscle development, joint health, bone strength, cardiovascular health, and much more. It does not have to be an organized sport of any kind, just physical play. Limiting screen time is a part of reducing a sedentary lifestyle and should be looked at closely for children. 3. Limit Sugar Intake. Food with sugar can be fun treats, and sugar definitely has a purpose in certain

respects, but the average person consumes too much added sugar. It contributes to obesity, type 2 diabetes, and heart disease. Foods with sugars should be considered treats and should be treated as such. Treats should be occasional items (like once a week or special occasions) and should be limited. Snacks should be foods that contribute to the nutritional intake for the day and should be things such as fruits and vegetables. Drinks with sugar (such as fruit drinks, soda, flavored milk, and sports drinks) should not be regular items children consume. Water should be the main drink of choice followed by regular milk and occasionally 100% fruit juice. Children under the age of two should have a diet with no added sugars. 4. Adequate Sleep. Believe it or not, sleep plays a key role in obesity, and children need to be getting the recommended amounts of sleep every night so their bodies can repair and do important jobs while growing. Resources are especially helpful in aiding us in the important decisions for our children. The American Academy of Pediatrics has a parenting website https://healthychildren.org that is full of information to help you keep your children healthy. The website has useful information on ages and stages, healthy living, safety and prevention, family life, health issues, news, and tips and tools for parents to help them navigate helping their child be as healthy as possible. There are several resources and helpful items for a family, which include tools such as creating your family media plan. The Center for Disease Control Division of Nutrition, Physical Activity, and Obesity has a website https://www.cdc.gov/nccdphp/ dnpao/index.html that is also a great resource to help combat childhood obesity. They have resources for several topics that are useful in helping families become healthier, such as nutrition and physical activity. There are tips on how to stay active as well as snack ideas. Try fun, new activities and recipes as a family to help combat childhood obesity. It will be a great time for the whole family and will encourage health skills for life. “On the Move” programs have newsletters that are sent to the families every week, discussing some tips and ideas that can be helpful in encouraging children to engage in healthful activities and eating.

Farmers asked to participate in national sunflower production survey North Dakota State University (NDSU) Extension specialists and agriculture and natural resources (ANR) county agents are in the process of conducting the National Sunflower Production Survey funded by the National Sunflower Association (NSA). “The National Sunflower Association survey measures yield components and factors that limit yield such as disease, insects, weeds and management issues,” said Ryan Buetow, NDSU Extension cropping systems specialist based out of the Dickinson Research Extension Center. “It is conducted bi-annually in
North Dakota, South Dakota, Minnesota, Manitoba, Nebraska, Kansas, Colorado and Texas.” According to NDSU Extension plant pathologist Dr. Sam Markell, “This survey is important for the industry. It’s important for the people that work on sunflower research and education like myself, and it’s important for the National Sunflower Association, and how they look at the crop and determination of research and outreach priorities.” Find more information on the survey at sunflowernsa.com/growers/yield-and-survey/sunflowercrop-survey/.

Impact of Seed-placed Nitrogen Fertilization in Wheat A field trial was conducted at Carrington Research Extension Center assessing dryland spring wheat population, grain yields, and protein response to newly -developed experimental polymer-coated urea (PCU) fertilizers as slow release N fertilizers compared to ESN, an established slow release N fertilizer. Treatments included ESN, PCU1, PCU2, PCU3, SuperU, urea seedplaced at 60 and 90 lbs/ac. Agrotain broadcast (as control) at 60 and 90 lb N. Soil N was 43 lbs/ac. Results • ESN seed-placed treatments had 24 plants each at 60 and 90 lbs N compared to the broadcast control Agrotain treatment with 37 and 33 plants, and zero plants for the other treatments. • Yields were extremely low on dryland due to drought. Average yield was similar for Agrotain broadcast (14 bushels) and ESN (15 bushels) treatment. Yields were less than four bushels for all other treatments. • Besides ESN and Agrotain treatments, yields were significantly reduced at 90 lbs compared to 60 lbs N. Poor seed germination of wheat from seed-applied N fertilizer. Treated plots
are separated on either side by buffer plots. Photo Credit: Jasper Teboh Conclusions Fertilizers are salts which can seriously impair seedling water absorption, resulting in desiccation. In addition, ammonia gas produced from the reaction of urea with water in soil be toxic to germinating seeds and seedlings. Damage is worse under dry conditions, with high soil pH, and in lighter (sandy) soils. The lower impact of seed-placed N fertilizer and different N rates under irrigation was due to higher soil moisture. ESN was the only slow release N fertilizer that showed no negative impact when applied with seeds, even at 90 lbs N. Yield loss can be expected when urea is blended at 22 lbs N with ESN.

A Mass of Christian Burial will be held on Saturday, September 18, at 10:30 a.m. at St. Alphonsus Catholic Church in Langdon for Beverly Ann Otto, of Langdon, who passed away peacefully in the arms of Jesus, surrounded by her loving family, on September 10, 2021, at the age of 81 at Sanford Broadway Medical Center hospice house in Fargo. Burial will be at Calvary Cemetery in Langdon following the funeral mass. Beverly Chaput was born on February 17, 1940, to Wilfred and Imelda (Stevens) Chaput in Perry Township of Cavalier County. She was raised on the family farm with strong values of faith and family. She attended Perry Township School through 8th grade and graduated from St. Alphonsus High School in 1958. She was united in marriage to her loving husband, Duane Otto, on July 11, 1959. They made their home in Grand Forks for four years before moving to Langdon where they raised their six children. She lived an active, happy, and faith-filled life. She poured her love into her career as wife, mom, grandma, homemaker, and friend who was always willing to help everyone. The amazing aroma of baked goods from her same kitchen of over 56 years greeted everyone that entered her home. Her love of baking included her specialties of raisin cinnamon bread, caramel rolls, fresh pies, and her infamous pear jam among others which were enjoyed by all. She was a great cook with no one having the chance to leave hungry. She was always happy to open her home to others. She also enjoyed gardening beautiful flower gardens and delicious vegetable gardens, bird watching, hobby club, sewing club, crocheting and other crafts, camp-
ing, playing cards, Rummikub, and spending time with friends and family. She was an active member of St. Alphonsus Catholic Church serving as an Eucharistic Minister, a member of the Altar Society, and Catholic Daughters including being coordinator of their gift shop. She also enjoyed her frequent discipleship group time and was a director of Cavalier County Friends for Life. She was a faith-filled prayer warrior frequently attending daily Mass and weekly adoration, saying the Rosary and Divine Mercy Chaplet daily among much other devotion to prayer. She has touched the lives of many others, even strangers, through her donation of seven gallons of blood over the years, and she will now live on through others with her beautiful final gift of organ donation. Surviving Beverly are her husband, Duane, of Langdon; her children: Paul Otto of Grand Forks, Gary (Kristen) Otto of Ft. Collins, Colo., Karla (Jay) Gellner of Langdon, Kevin (Kristi) Otto of Grand Forks, Kathy (Phil) Postlewaite of Lakeville, Minn., Karen (Jim) Patton of Albertville, Minn.; 14 grandchildren; brother LaVern (Margaret) Chaput; sisters-in-law: Sally Otto, Lois Otto and Margaret Chaput; several nieces and nephews; and many great friends. She was preceded in death by her parents, Wilfred & Imelda Chaput, and brother Jerry Chaput. She was a wonderful wife, mom, grandma, sister, aunt and friend and will be dearly missed.

A graveside service was held on September 14, 2021, at Sunset Memorial Gardens north of Minot, for Phyllis Sortland, who passed away on September 7, 2021, at Trinity Homes where she resided for more than 10 years. Phyllis was born June 14, 1926, to Rev. Henry and Matilda (Sayers) Cannon at Castlewood, SD. She received her early education in SD and continued in Bottineau and then Hannah, where she graduated from high school in 1945. Then she attended Jamestown College and earned a BS teaching degree in 1949. That was applied to teaching in Hannah, Neche, Carpio, Harvey, and then Minot Public Schools for 21 years. She became the wife of
Rev. John Sortland on December 29, 1954, in Fargo. She actively supported her husband’s ministries and served musically. She played and taught piano. They moved back to Minot in the 60’s and resided in their home along the river. She enjoyed reading throughout the years and keeping up with family and friends through letters and newspaper clippings. After John’s retirement they made a trip to visit family in both Norway and England. She retired from teaching in 1990 to help care for her husband who passed away October 5 of that year. She was preceded in death by all her family: brothers John and Dwight Cannon and sisters: Vera Cannon, Bernice Brostrom {Ralph), Mary Treleaven (Elden), and Dorothy Cannon. She was also preceded by a nephew Richard Brostrom. She is survived by niece: Marlys Brostrom Libengood (Fred) and nephews: Dennis (Shirley) Brostrom and Larry (Linda) Treleaven.

First West Nile virus-related death reported in N.D. The North Dakota Department of Health (NDDoH) announced the state’s first West Nile virus (WNV) related death in 2021. As of September 9, 2021, there have been 19 human WNV cases reported in 13 North Dakota counties, resulting in 10 hospitalizations and one death. The WNV related death was a resident in southwest North Dakota and was over the age of 60. “People older than 60 years, or those who have underlying health issues, are at the greatest risk of developing a severe illness due to WNV infection. The individual’s death is a tragic reminder of how dangerous WNV can be,” said Amanda Bakken, an epidemiologist with the NDDoH. In 2020, North Dakota had seven cases of WNV reported and no related deaths. Most people infected with WNV experience no symptoms or have only mild symptoms, such as fever and headache. In more severe types of infection, the virus can cause high fever, severe headache, stiff neck, altered mental state, and death. People with these symptoms should see a health care provider immediately. WNV transmission usually peaks in late summer in North Dakota. As the year progresses, people may be inclined to skip mosquito protection. However, until there is a hard frost to eliminate the remaining mosquito population, people should continue to protect themselves from mosquito bites. The NDDoH recommends the following precautions: The NDDoH recommends residents take these precautions to avoid mosquito bites: • Use insect repellent registered with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) that contain ingredients such as DEET, picaridin, IR3535, oil of lemon eucalyptus, PMD, 2-undecanone, and permethrin (clothing only). Always follow the di-
rections on the manufacturer’s label for safe and effective use. • Wear protective clothing outdoors such as long-sleeved shirts, long pants and socks. • Limit outdoor activities between dusk and dawn when mosquitoes that can carry WNV are most likely to bite. • Eliminate stagnant water in containers around homes where mosquitoes can lay their eggs (e.g., gutters,
buckets, flower pots, old tires, wading pools and birdbaths). • Install or repair screens on windows and doors to keep mosquitoes out of your residence. • Maintain a well-trimmed yard and landscape around your home. For more information on West Nile virus, contact Amanda Bakken at ajbakken@nd.gov, 701.328.2385 or 800.472.2180.

Brush with the Bunch
A couple of more weeks and the Walhalla Pumpkin Fest will be history. Where is the summer going - Brush Bunch Art Show, July the 4th, the Pembina County Fair, August the Deuce, Pioneer Heritage Days, and now the Pumpkin Fest. And this is just in the Northern part of Pembina County. Think of all the things you could find to spend your time in the whole Rendezvous Region or the state of North Dakota. The last Saturday in September is what you have the BIG X for on your calendar for - the Pumpkin Fest in Walhalla where there is something for all ages. A couple of years ago I used the picture, (shown) of a couple of Brush Bunch members with their heads (just a picture) in a large triple story Pumpkin which was on display in the window of the Gorge Gallery which the Brush Bunch calls home, on Tuesdays. They are from top to bottom: Laurel, Leona and a goofy pumpkin. On Saturday the 25th, you will find these two ladies selling rhubarb floats and selling anything you may want to buy while drinking and shopping in our fine gift shop with anything from A (Art of all mediums) to Z (Zucchini products). You may look around and see some unfinished artwork along with much for sale. From random thoughts: some mistakes are too much fun to make only once. Have a great autumn, enjoy life, and God Bless! by Leo Beauchamp

Cardinals win Homecoming game shutting out PR 34-0 By JAKE KULLAND Republican Sports Writer It was Homecoming 2021 for the Langdon-Edmore-Munich Cardinals when they hosted Park River on Sept. 10. The Cardinals jumped to an early 10-0 lead and won the game in a shutout 34-0. The Cards are now 4-0 on the season and 2-0 in Northeast Region Class B 11-Man games. It was also the 42nd win in a row for the program. Thirdranked Langdon-Edmore-Munich is at Thompson on Sept. 17 before hosting Harvey-Wells County on Sept. 24. The Cards got off to a great start as they have much of the season. After stopping the Aggies on their opening drive, Langdon-EdmoreMunich went right down the field and scored on a one-yard touchdown plunge by Jack Romfo to make the score 6-0. The Cardinals would get the ball right back and score once again just three minutes later in the first quarter on a fiveyard TD run from Carter Tetrault.
Cardinals quarterback Rayce Worley was making his first appearance back in the lineup after missing a game with a sprained ankle. He showed he was a little rusty early as he threw three interceptions. But, after a scoreless second quarter, he redeemed himself early in the second half on a touchdown throw to Markus Kingzett, who had a great catch and run dodging several Park River defenders on his way to the end zone. Langdon-Edmore-Munich would close out the game on two more Romfo runs to paydirt for the 34-0 win. The Cardinals defense came up big, led by Gage Goodman, who had an interception while leading the team in tackles. The Cards ran for 270 yards as a team and threw for 185 more in the victory. Cody Amble also had a pick off for the Cards. Tetrault led the team in rushing with 107 yards on 16 carries followed by Romfo with 10 carries for 85. Kingzett was the leading pass catcher with four grabs for 73 yards.

Lady Cards net two wins versus Thompson and Rolette By JAKE KULLAND Republican Sports Writer
The Langdon-Edmore-Munich Cardinals volleyball team got into a busier portion of their schedule when they played at home versus Thompson on Sept. 9 then traveled to play their first Region 4 match of the season at Rolette on Sept. 14. The Lady Cards beat the Tommies 3-1 then swept the Comets 3-0. With the wins, the Cardinals are now 8-1 on the season. They hosted North Border on Sept. 16 and then will travel to Carrington to play a volleyball triangular with Central Cass and Carrington on Sept. 18, which takes the place of the Optimists Volleyball Tournament in Valley City which was cancelled due to COVID-19 concerns. In the week ahead, Langdon-Edmore-Munich will play at Benson County on Sept. 21 then are home versus Dunseith on Sept. 23. Here is a recap of the Lady Cards latest two matches: Langdon-Edmore-Munich 3, Thompson 1 In their match with the Tommies, the Cards came out smoking, racing out to a 19-7 lead only to see Thompson score seven straight points and cut the lead to five. But LangdonEdmore-Munich got things back together and outscored the Tommies 6-2 the rest of the way to win game one 25-16. Thompson fell behind 4-0 in
game two before they went on a 10-0 run and won the second game 25-21. From there it was back and forth for games three and four. The Lady Cards battled to a 19-12 lead in the third game and won 25-18 then closed things out in game four 25-19 to win the match. The Cardinals were led by Cora Badding, who had 23 kills, followed by Morgan Freije with 21 - the first time Langdon-Edmore-Munich has had two girls with 20 plus kills in the same match for several years. The Cardinals had nine service aces with Freije having four. Jalynn Swanson had 38 assists, and Freije had 18 digs, one of four Cardinals with 10 or more. Alexis Zafke had 12 kills to lead Thompson, while Summer Hegg had six kills and six stuff blocks. Langdon-Edmore-Munich 3, Rolette 0 The Lady Cards took care of business early in Rolette, rolling to a pair of 25-9 wins to begin the match. To the Comets credit, they tried to fight back against being swept at home, but the Cardinals still got the win in game three 25-16. Serving was a strength in this one for the Cardinals, as they had 19 service aces by eight different players - Morgan Freije, Cora Badding, Jalynn Swanson and Taryn Amble all having three each. Freije led the team with 13 kills followed by Badding with 12. Swanson had

Jake’s take on sports
By Jake Kulland
Harvey Hope Invitational Cross Country Meet at Langdon Country Club Sept. 20 This week marks the annual Harvey Hope Invitational Cross Country Meet at the Langdon Country Club. Harvey was a big supporter of the cross country program. He and the late Roger Snortland were the main reasons the program got going in the first place and why it is still going strong today. The boys and girls meet begins at 4:00 p.m. on Sept. 20 at the LCC, and spectators are welcome. Speaking of the course, the Langdon Country Club is still open for business. A shout out to Tyler Bata and Jesse Zeis for winning the Tuesday Men's Golf League playoffs, beating Randy Hill and Kade Pengilly for the title. Tuesday Men's Stag activities are still going on out on the course and in the clubhouse until at least the end of September, so get out and get some swings in while you still can. Lady Cards golfers take third at Region 3 Tourney, advance to the State B in Carrington Congratulations the LangdonEdmore-Munich Cardinals girls golf team, who took third place at the Region 3 Meet held in Grand Forks on Sept. 15. The Cards took third
in the meet and will now advance to the state meet in Carrington on Sept. 27-28. Congratulations to Arianna Haraseth and Taryn Romfo, who both made the All-Region 3 Team by finishing in the top 10 in the tourney and to the Cardinals Lauren Gendron, who was named Region 3 Co-Senior Athlete of the Year. Addi Brown of North Border also made the All-Region 3 team by finishing seventh. Cardinals coach Jenny Romfo also was named Region 3 Coach of the Year. We say congrats to everyone involved, and best of luck to all at state! Cardinals football team hits the meat of their schedule After winning their first four games of the season and extending their winning streak to 42 straight games, the Langdon-EdmoreMunich Cardinals football schedule gets serious the next couple of weeks. The Cards play at Thompson on Sept. 17, host Harvey-Wells County on Sept. 24, and then head to Hillsboro-Central Valley on Oct. 1. All three look to be tough, competitive games, and if they can get three wins, it would give them a strangle hold on the top seed for Northeast Region Class B 11-Man football. The Cardinals have been playing well this season, despite having six turnovers in their last two games. After this tough threegame run, Langdon-Edmore-Munich will have their last two games of the regular season at home, and
if they continue to grind out wins, hopefully more will follow in the postseason. See 'ya next week.

Prairie Fare: You say ‘po-tay-tah’ and I say ‘po-tay-toe’
“Are we going to ‘po-tay-tah’ days this year?’ my husband asked. “Yes, of course, we are going to ‘po-tay-toe’ days,” I replied, with an emphasis on “toe.” He thinks I have a Minnesota accent. I think he has an Indiana accent. We probably have a bit of a Fargo accent after all these years. “Did you remember to close the ‘win-dahs’?” I asked before we left
home. I like to tease him now and then. He grinned at me. For years we have made our annual trip to Barnesville so I get my fill of potato dumplings at “Potato Days.” When we were first married, my husband thought potato dumplings were kind of strange. I bought us potato dumplings at one booth, and he bought mashed potatoes and gravy from another booth. We cleaned our plates. Savoring potatoes, especially dumplings, at this festival makes me feel nostalgic. T:6.75" Potatoes are the top-consumed
vegetable in the U.S., according to a recent consumer survey. Tomatoes, onions, carrots and lettuce round out the top five vegetables. Potatoes are nutritious. They also are versatile ingredients on the menu that can be prepared in numerous ways. These tubers grow well in the Red River Valley and supply ample complex carbohydrates to fuel our bodies. They are an excellent source of vitamin C. One potato provides about 45% of the daily vitamin C recommendation. Vitamin C is an antioxidant that helps protect our cells; it boosts our

immune system and helps maintain healthy skin. A 5-ounce potato provides about 20% of the daily recommendation for potassium. Potassium is essential for maintaining a healthy blood pressure, and it is involved in muscle contraction and nerve transmission. When possible, consume the potato skin, which is a rich source of fiber. If you must peel, be sure to peel thinly. The area right below the skin (the “cambium”) is where many nutrients reside. On average, one potato has 100 calories, 4 grams (g) protein, 26 g carbohydrate and 3 g fiber. If you add bountiful toppings to your potato, then you will add numerous calories. Try chili and a light sprinkle of cheese on a baked potato. Potato dumplings (or “klubb”) were a favorite when I was a child. My mother learned how to make the dumplings from my great-aunt Christina, who came to the U.S. from Norway in the late 1800s. Making the dumplings did not involve a recipe. My mother used an old stainless steel food grinder, and then she added all-purpose and whole-wheat flour and some other ingredients. Next, she boiled the potato balls in a large pot of boiling ham broth. Some people put a cube of ham in the center of the dumpling before boiling. We had ham on the side. This summer I was engaged in the creation of a community cookbook with several dietetic students and community gardeners. We prepared about 75 recipes and the gardeners contributed their recipes and served as the taste-testers. Some of the submitted recipes were “heritage recipes” enjoyed since childhood. All of the recipes included vegetables and fruits we can grow in our area. I noticed that Swedish potato dumplings were on the recipe list. Would these taste different from Norwegian potato dumplings? They called for white flour so they were lighter in color than the potato dumplings of my youth. My students had not prepared dumplings previously, but they followed the directions exactly. The Swedish dumplings tasted a lot like Page 1/1 Norwegian dumplings. They were very good.

cookbook with recipes submitted by gardeners. The cookbook will be posted online this winter. According to the note submitted with her recipe, Janna’s grandmother was 100% Swedish, and this was a favorite family recipe. They called them “crops” instead of the Swedish word “Kroppkakor.” Swedish Potato Dumplings (Kroppkakor) 6 c. baking potatoes, peeled and grated raw 1 tsp. salt 1 tsp. baking powder About 5 c. flour 2 lb. cubed side/salt pork or ham 1 lb. salt pork, cut into 2-inch strips (or ham) Fry side/salt pork until crisp. Cool and drain on a paper towel. With a food processor, grate raw potatoes. Pour off water that accumulates. Mix grated potatoes, salt, baking powder and flour. Mixture will be similar to a bread-like dough but sticky. Wet hands and roll a handful of mixture into a ball (approximately the size of a small orange). Create a pit in the ball of dough and fill with a small spoonful of fried pork. Close and seal the opening and reform into a ball. Drop the balls into a large pot of boiling, salted water so the dumplings are covered. Lower heat to a slow boil. Cook uncovered for about 45 minutes. Depending on the size of the dumpling, cooking may take anywhere from 30 minutes for smaller dumplings to 60 minutes for larger ones. As they cook, move the dumplings so they don’t stick to the bottom. They will float up as they cook. Once they float, cook for another 10 minutes. Remove dumplings with a slotted spoon. Serve with the fried side/ salt pork and cranberries, and pour cream over the dumpling. If there are leftovers, we cube them and reheat them in a frying pan, and then serve with lots of cream poured over them. Makes 18 servings. Without cream or butter, each serving has 210 calories, 1.5 g fat, 1.5 g protein, 41 g carbohydrate, 1 g fiber and 480 mg sodium.

By Rita Maisel
Remember When? Last week’s column was interrupted several times by news of friends who were hospitalized and before the end of the week had diednot a good atmosphere in which to write stories. However, in the midst of the more tragic phone calls, I got another one. This time from Lori Dettler at the elementary school. Lori had been sent a picture of a rural school (location unknown) by Mike Brumley of Springfield, Missouri. Did I know anyone who could identify the school? Thinking readers enjoy old pictures, I sent the copy on to the newspaper thinking they would not print it until we had better identification, but they did print it. Later in the week, I got another message from Mr. Brumley with more history on his part of the story. Mike Brumley has been doing his family history (no, he did not tell me the family names or if they had any connection to North Dakota), and while strolling around at a flea market he found pictures displayed for sale, and this one caught his eye. Estate agents often end up with boxes of memorabilia that they sell to antique collectors who end up
Cavalier County Republican
putting a small price on the items which are sold at auctions or markets often many miles from where they originate He has found a lot of pictures that seemed to tell their own stories, so he took the picture home, apparently magnified it to see more of the details, and then set out to find a place named Langdon where it might have come from. Over the years, many families named Langdon have visited our town. Langdon - just east of Calgary, AB; Langdon, ND; and several spots in Minnesota are all named for Robert Bruce Langdon, a member of the Federal Railroad Commission in 1884. Langdon, Iowa, is named for a pioneer in that state, and we know about the town and name because when a descendant from Langdon, Iowa, met Lars Liebeler with roots in our area, he married her, and they have a son Langdon Liebeler. That Langdon has visited Lebanon Cemetery to find the graves of his great and great-great-grandparents. Several places in New York and Massachusetts are named for older original Langdon families connected to railroad building and politics. A descendant of that group married a young writer and often traveled on family-built or owned trains. That later famous writer used the pen name Mark Twain. His son was Langdon Clemens (Twain’s original name). Author David Baldacci, a fan of Mark Twain since reading Tom Sawyer, and other well known
Langdon Long Ago
books as a child, uses characters Langdon and Tom in several of his novels for present day readers. While the picture in last week’s edition did not show the details of the bats, balls, and other sports equipment, Brumley found those as well as the clothing dated to an era which matched the year given on the sign in front of the children. He had noticed several of the boys wearing ties and dressier jackets and had on overalls under the more formal wear indicating the picture of was rural children. So he studied the sign more closely. Originally it read 123 not 1923. Was there a town with a school district 123 or simply 23? The closest he could come was North Dakota 100-23 (Langdon Area School). Local people who file income tax will remember putting that number in a box on the state form. The white frame building in the background would not be either a Langdon Public or St. Alphonsus school since by 1923, both schools were of brick construction and by 1923 had larger classes with children closer to the same size than the group pictured. When I worked at the courthouse, there was a file in a basement storage room listing township schools by number and year so if readers recognized any of the students it might be possible to identify them in the future. Anyone who would like a closer look at possibly a clearer picture can let me
know, and I will forward his photograph to you. Now readers know as much as I do (or more) about this picture, and we would be glad to know if anyone in our area recognized a long ago relative on the picture. Unwritten stories: Story suggestions come from many directions as the years go by, and two that I received earlier this summer have been set aside with apologies to the people asking about them. One was a request that I research the beginning of the Langdon Eagles Club and in the process interview Lowell Kartes, one of the founders who currently makes his home at Maple Manor. I found the clipping showing Lowell and other early members burning the mortgage on the building but nothing filed under the Eagles as an organization. Maybe that information is kept under another heading. Because the group is a fraternal organization for men, it was not one I had ever considered joining. The reason for this request came because the group will mark its 50th year next year, so the request was timely. The best I could do was to notify current members to start thinking about this, and hopefully they will research and celebrate in fine style. The second request came from Elizabeth Enoch in California. Her maiden name was Bergman, but their family had moved to Cali-
fornia in the 1940s, possibly to do war work, so she had not graduated from school in Langdon but as a former student knew about the 100 year reunion for St. Alphonsus students. Only three Bergman students from that era were listed in the 1976 directory, and she was not among them. Thelma Bergman Howatt was listed and had heard of Ida Mae Kempel, another family member whose books are available in the Cavalier County Library. So I read the books but initially lost Elizabeth’s letter. She had copied a part of their family history written by her mother which includes Messner, Perius, and Bergman history which she felt had been distributed to interested family members and wondered if there was a place family stories could be filed here so visitors of the future could look them up. I remember some being at the museum at Dresden unless they have been lost over the years, and the librarians at the library do have several individual family publications where this material could be filed. If you are a member of those families and would like reading about them or a copy of what she has sent, please let me know. These are both good stories which we do not want to lose. Thank you to the people who have suggested them.
Farm Credit Associations move to next phase of merger talks

So, forget the pain, restore mobility—and return to the quality of life you deserve.
AgCountry Farm Credit Services and Farm Credit Services of North Dakota are pleased to announce the Joint Board Resolution was unanimously approved by both Boards on July 13, 2021, approving the terms and conditions of the Agreement and Plan of Merger. Following a review and approval by Farm Credit Administration (FCA), the merger vote will go to stockholders. The combined association would operate under the AgCountry Farm Credit Services brand name and, if all conditions are met, the newly merged association is expected to begin operation under the management of AgCountry Farm Credit Services CEO Marc Knisely effective January 1, 2022. “This is a strategic merger for both associations,” shares AgCountry Board of Directors Chair, Ed Hegland. “Our board has worked diligently to determine how best to support the long-term success of our members, the cooperative, and the communities we serve. Next, we will need our shareholders to play their important role for our cooperative—review the merger packet that will be mailed following FCA approval and cast their vote.” “The Board of Directors serving Farm Credit Services of North Dakota, views this as a good merger for members of both cooperatives,” said Bryan Ankenbauer, Board Chair for Farm Credit Services of North Dakota. “Both associations are closely aligned in mission and focus on member-owners’ success. The combined association will benefit from increased loan portfolio
diversity, a larger capital base and a wide array of products and services.” Following the merger, memberowners can expect the same personalized service they count on today from their current branch locations and branch staff while leveraging increased staff depth, experience and skillsets that is a direct result of a merged association. They can also count on the same commitment to patronage, or cash dividends, which could effectively reduce interest rates by 1% for the cooperative if financial conditions are met.
