Jamestown  (CSi)  The Jamestown Stutsman Development Corporation (JSDC) is working with the Jamestown Regional Airport Authority in developing a new industrial park near the Jamestown Regional Airport.

JSDC Business Development Director Corry Shevlin reports that the Jamestown Regional Airport Authority owns about 87 acres on Highway 20 North, which is prime for development into industrial and aeronautical use lots.

The Airport Authority will lease the land to the JSDC at the agriculture land lease rate, enabling the JSDC to  sublet the land for agriculture purposes, $0.71 per square foot for the repayment of the development cost as a onetime payment, plus $0.02 per square foot for JRAA on a yearly basis.

Shevlin says approximately $2.8 million would be needed to develop the park.

The project would be funded 90/10 City of Jamestown and Stutsman County split, with the city accounting for $2,562,752.44 and the county’s share $284,750.28.

The city council and county commission, need to approve the project which could get started this fall.

 

Jamestown  (NDFU-CSi)   – North Dakota Farmers Union praised USDA’s announcement that Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) acres will be open for emergency haying in North Dakota due to ongoing drought.

Starting July 16 through August 30, 2017 counties designated as D2 or greater on the U.S. Drought Monitor will be authorized for haying. Counties with any part of its border located within 150 miles of a county eligible for emergency haying of CRP is also eligible, according to the Farm Service Agency.

NDFU President Mark Watne issued the following statement:

“We appreciate this action by USDA to expand available forage for livestock producers dealing with drought. Many ranchers have had to downsize their herds already and the ripple effect will be felt in our depressed farm economy. This action by the Secretary (Sonny Perdue) will help alleviate short-term forage needs. But we still need rain.”

 Watne also praised North Dakota’s congressional delegation for their efforts to expand the opening of CRP acres. NDFU signed on to a letter earlier with National Farmers Union, urging the Secretary of Agriculture to address the significant drought situation in the Upper Great Plains.

 

 

MINOT, N.D. (AP) — Ward County sheriff’s officials say a man who lost his inflatable device on Nelson Carlson Lake was later found drowned after calling for help.

Authorities say two bystanders heard the man’s calls for help Monday about 6:30 p.m. and tried to help him. But, they were unable to bring him to shore and then lost sight of him.

Rescue divers from Burlington, Ward County and Garrison found the man’s body about 8 p.m. He’s identified as 32-year-old Albert Wilson of Minot.

Nelson Carlson Lake is a small recreational area southwest of Minot.

 

WATFORD CITY, N.D. (AP) — An Alaska man is recovering after being attacked by a bison while hiking in western North Dakota’s Theodore Roosevelt National Park.

Park official Eileen Andes says the 65-year-old hiker encountered the large animal after taking photos of a sunset. The man tried to walk around the bison but didn’t provide a wide enough berth.

Andes says the bison apparently threw the man into a bush, knocking him unconscious. He also suffered a leg laceration. When he came to, the man saw more bison, so he climbed a butte and yelled for help.

Campers heard his faint calls, including three airmen from Minot Airforce Base. They rescued the bleeding man after the bison moved away from the hill.

The hiker was treated at a hospital and released Saturday.

 

BEULAH, N.D. (AP) — Authorities asked for a voluntary evacuation in Beulah after a grassfire came within a mile of the western North Dakota city.

Beulah Rural Fire Protection District Chief Eli Schumann says the fire began with a baler in a hay field. He says it traveled more than a mile before firefighters were able to control the flames about 11:30 p.m. Monday.

Schumann says firefighters stationed themselves to the north of the Knife River to keep the fire from reaching the town. He says access to the scene was difficult because firefighters had to navigate numerous ravines and creeks and they had a “hard time catching up with it.”

About 450 residents were included in the voluntary evacuation. It’s not clear how many people left their homes.

 

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — State health officials have set a tentative timeline for establishing a medical marijuana industry in North Dakota.

The Health Department is asking those interested in being a manufacturer or a distributor to notify the agency by July 28. That will give officials a better idea about interest.

The department tentatively plans to accept actual applications in August and September. The agency would review them in October and make selections in early November.

Officials estimate it will take manufacturers about six months to set up facilities and grow the first crop of medical marijuana. If the timeline plays out, the drug would be available to patients next spring.

North Dakota voters last November approved medical marijuana, and the Legislature earlier this year crafted regulations that Gov. Doug Burgum approved in April.

 

Washington  (CSi)  –  Congressman Kevin Cramer announced today the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) will allow insurance providers to waive the 30-day ownership requirement for Livestock Risk Protection (LRP) Specific Coverage Endorsements upon an individual producer providing proof of ownership. This policy is issued in light of the severe drought conditions in North Dakota, South Dakota, and Montana.

“Under this provision, insurance providers may choose to not hold producers responsible for changes in their livestock count due to loss or early sale,“ said Cramer. “Secretary Perdue consistantly proves he understands the enormous impact this drought is having on North Dakota’s farmers and ranchers.”

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — More than 120 soldiers from North Dakota National Guard’s 957th Engineer Company will be training at the Kimball Bottoms recreational area, south of Bismarck beginning this week.

The area, including the off-highway vehicle trails, will be closed to the public from July 13-19.

The unit will also be conducting boating and bridging operations on the Missouri River. The National Guard says the river will not be closed to the public, but visitors are asked to use caution while in the area.

Trump Jr. posted his emails with publicist Rob Goldstone on Twitter Tuesday.

WASHINGTON (AP) — A long-time Republican lawmaker says he’s “very pessimistic” that his party will push a health care bill through the Senate. Sen.

The downbeat assessments came with Republican leaders aiming toward a climactic Senate vote next week on their wounded legislation erasing much of President Barack Obama’s health care law.
