NDSU Extension Service, Stutsman County 4-H Progam Coordinator, Robin Barnes says, several projects will be donated by Stutsman County 4-Hers along many others providing assistance.

She adds that the  Stutsman County Farm Bureau will send purchased fencing supplies, Glinz Transfer is providing a semi, fuel and driver to deliver the donations, JP Wiest is providing a 53′ van trailer, UPS Jamestown Store is giving packaging materials for donations and Stutsman County Fair is allowing temporary donation storage.

Jamestown  (CSi-NDFU)  – North Dakota Farmers Union (NDFU) is urging U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Sonny Perdue to open Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) acres for emergency haying and grazing due to widespread drought.

NDFU President Mark Watne, says,  “Livestock producers need help now. Feed supplies are deteriorating fast, hay is in short supply due to last year’s harsh winter, and ranchers are facing the difficult decision of whether to downsize their herd. It is an emergency situation.”

The National Drought Mitigation Center currently lists severe drought conditions in and around the Missouri River Basin in North Dakota. Similar conditions exist in Minnesota, Montana and South Dakota.

Watne says spotty rainfall across the region has helped alleviate the drought somewhat, but it isn’t significant enough to reverse long term impacts. He adds, “Producers and their livestock need relief now,” he emphasized. “Delaying the opening of CRP until August, as typically is the case, will be too late. The grass will have very little nutritional value, if any.”

NDFU was one of four Farmers Union states that signed on to a letter by National Farmers Union, urging the Secretary to address the significant drought situation in the Upper Great Plains.

COGSWELL, N.D. (AP) — Authorities say a man has died after he was pulled from a slough (slew) in southeastern North Dakota.

Sargent County Sheriff Travis Paeper (PAY’-pur) says 57-year-old William Vandervoort of rural Gwinner was with friends when they lost sight of him Sunday evening.

Vandervoort was underwater in Kraft Slough northwest of Cogswell for nearly 20 minutes before he was found. He was airlifted to a Fargo hospital but died Wednesday.

An autopsy is planned Thursday. The sheriff says a medical condition may have been a factor in the death.

 

MAHNOMEN, Minn. (AP) — A pilot is hospitalized after a small plane crashed in northwestern Minnesota.

The Mahnomen County Sheriff’s Office got a 911 call Tuesday night about the crash five miles south of Mahnomen near the Mahnomen County Airport. Deputies found the plane in a field. Two employees of the Minnesota Department of Transportation traveling on Highway 59 saw the crash and pulled the pilot from the wreckage.

Sheriff Doug Krier says  pilot was in stable but serious condition when he was flown to Sanford Medical Center in Fargo, North Dakota. He’s identified as 56-year-old Mark Habedank of Twin Valley, Minnesota. He remains hospitalized but his condition is not being released.

The Federal Aviation Administration and the National Transportation Safety Board are investigating.

 

 

FARGO, N.D. (June 21, 2017) – Gov. Doug Burgum Wednesday attended the grand opening celebration for the new Sanford Medical Center in Fargo, congratulating North Dakota’s largest private employer on the completion of its $494 million, 1-million-square-foot facility – one of the largest private industry construction projects in the history of the Dakotas.

Lt. Gov. Brent Sanford also attended Wednesday’s event.

“This cutting-edge facility demonstrates Sanford Health’s long-term commitment to North Dakota and the Fargo region while also serving as a shining example of how technology and innovation can help establish our state as a leader in health care,” Burgum said. “Congratulations to Sanford Health and its 13,000 team members in North Dakota on making this medical center a reality. We’re deeply grateful for the health benefits and economic impact a project of this magnitude brings to our state.”

The nearly four-year construction project contributed almost $55 million in wages and salaries in North Dakota, with more than 4,200 workers from across the Midwest and beyond contributing nearly 2.4 million hours to build the hospital, according to Sanford Health.

An additional 500 employees and 100 physicians will be added as a result of the project, which will expand patient services and has spurred development in the surrounding area.

Burgum also noted that Sanford will maintain its presence in the heart of downtown Fargo. Sanford Broadway will continue to be a bustling campus with more than 1,000 direct-care employees and thousands more working in support areas, helping to keep the metro’s core strong for a healthy, vibrant community.

The 284-bed, 11-story Sanford Medical Center is scheduled to open to patients on July 25.

Celebrities with North Dakota ties traveled to the state to help celebrate Fargo’s new $500 million hospital.

Actor Josh Duhamel, singer Fergie and NFL quarterback Carson Wentz were on hand Wednesday for a concert held for Sanford employees and their guests.

Thousands of people attended the bash in a field near the hospital.
