Jamestown  (CSi)   – The North Dakota Farmers Union (NDFU), in partnership with Agraria LLC members and the Farmers Restaurant Group, has opened the doors to a sixth Founding Farmers restaurant at King of Prussia, Pa. This is the organization’s first location outside of the Beltway, since opening its first farmer-owned restaurant in 2006.

NDFU President Mark Watne, says, “If you would have told me 11 years ago that we’d have six restaurants serving 43,000 guests a week, would have said, ‘No way.’ The response has been phenomenal.”

Unlike the organization’s five other restaurants, Founding Farmers King of Prussia features a bakery and café on its first level for walk-in guests. The 284-seat second level is separated into dining microclimates that replicate different rooms of a farmhouse and includes a bar area. Large portions of made-from-scratch comfort food, sourced from family farms and ranches, are served at affordable prices.

Watne says the concept of a farmer-owned restaurant started at NDFU with the idea that farmers could secure a greater share of the U.S. food dollar by taking advantage of opportunities at the top of the production food chain rather than the bottom.

He adds, “The thought was to get closer to the consumer and then own the whole food chain system. Not only are we putting more money into the hands of family farmers and ranchers, we’re strengthening people’s understanding of why family farm agriculture is so important to our country.”

The restaurant’s goal is to serve 100 percent U.S. family farm-sourced food. Last month, NDFU started trucking flour from the state mill and sugar from American Crystal to the East Coast. Potatoes and other raw commodities will soon be shipped with stops along the way to pick up commodities, such as butter in Minnesota and cheese in Wisconsin.

Watne says “It’s important that American family farmers and ranchers share in the profits.”

The group plans to open a seventh restaurant early next year at Reston, Va.

 

 

WASHINGTON (CSi)   – Senator John Hoeven (R-N.D.) has announced that the U.S. Senate has passed a bipartisan resolution he introduced designating November 4, 2017 as National Bison Day. The resolution celebrates the cultural and historical significance of the North American bison as well as the bison’s designation as the national mammal of the United States.

Hoven states, “Our national mammal, the bison, is a true American icon.” The bison’s incredible story includes one of the most remarkable and successful examples of conservation efforts as they were brought back from the brink of extinction to flourish again. Many Native Americans hold the bison as an important spiritual symbol, and it holds important historical and cultural significance for our nation. That’s why we worked to designate the bison as our national mammal and on National Bison Day we commemorate all that the bison means to our nation.”

Read the full resolution here.

The resolution is cosponsored by Senators Martin Heinrich (D-N.M.), Mike Enzi (R-Wyo.), Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.), James Inhofe (R-Okla.), Tom Udall (D-N.M.), Jerry Moran (R-Kan.), Pat Roberts (R-Kan.)

The company’s senior vice president Mark Dupont says 325 employees will lose their jobs as a result. Book World plans to begin liquidation sales on Thursday.

SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) — A Dakotas nonprofit is urging consumers who buy health insurance on their own to sign up early through the Affordable Care Act marketplace.

The open enrollment period for 2018 health coverage began Wednesday and runs until Dec. 15, 2017, a sign-up period six weeks shorter than last year’s.

Community HealthCare Association of the Dakotas CEO Shelly Ten Napel says community health centers and others are working hard to inform people that coverage and financial help are available.

She says people who plan to renew or enroll in a health plan should get prepared and sign up early to ensure coverage.

The nonpartisan Kaiser Family Foundation says for the 2017 open enrollment period, over 21,000 people in North Dakota and more than 29,000 people in South Dakota selected a marketplace plan.

 

 

GRANDIN, N.D. (AP) — A Fargo man ended up inadvertently “plowing” a short section of Interstate 29 in Cass County when the chisel plow he was pulling with a tractor struck an overpass.

The Highway Patrol says the man was traveling from a field near Grandin to a Horace-area farm midday Tuesday when the 16-foot-tall plow hit the bottom of an overpass. The bridge wasn’t damaged, but the impact pushed the plow spades into the roadway and resulted in some deep gouges to the surface.

The driver wasn’t injured, but he was cited for violating height restrictions.

In world and national news…

NEW YORK (AP) — A bell that London gave to New York City after Sept. 11, 2001, has tolled in honor of those killed in the truck attack on a bike path near the World Trade Center. St. Paul’s Chapel is part of the Parish of Trinity Church Wall Street and rang the Bell of Hope on Wednesday. It’s located near the lower Manhattan neighborhood where a truck driver plowed into people on Tuesday, killing eight.

NEW YORK (AP) — New York City’s police commissioner says the officer who shot the man responsible for a deadly rampage on a Manhattan bike path is too modest to admit he’s a hero. Commissioner James O’Neill says he doesn’t think there’s a “more humble human being” than Ryan Nash, who’s been on the force for five years. O’Neill is among many impressed by what Nash _ at the age of 28 _ did for New York City and the nation.

NEW YORK (AP) — Brett Ratner’s attorney says the film director ‘vehemently denies’ accusations of sexual harassment and assault. The denial follows a Wednesday report by the Los Angeles Times citing 6 women _ including actress Olivia Munn _ who say Ratner aggressively pursued them.

WASHINGTON (AP) — GOP lawmakers from high-tax states like New York and New Jersey have mixed opinions about a plan by House leaders to permit taxpayers to continue to be able to deduct property taxes but lose the deduction for state income taxes. New York Rep. Peter King said the plan wouldn’t sway him to vote for the tax overhaul bill because the “income tax is a real big hit on New York.”

WASHINGTON (AP) — An AP Fact Check finds President Donald Trump omitted key facts in his rush to blame Democratic Sen. Chuck Schumer for an immigration program used by the Uzbek national accused of carrying out the deadly truck attack in New York. The program he’s citing was backed by both parties and signed into law by a Republican president.
