Scattered thunderstorms may form along a warm front between I-94
and US Highway 2  this afternoon.

More numerous thunderstorms are expected this  evening and into the over night across a larger portion of western and central North Dakota.

Thunderstorms that form this afternoon through  tonight are likely to
become severe. Very large hail to around baseball size, damaging
winds to near 75 mph, a few tornadoes, and localized flash
flooding are the primary threats.

After midnight, the greatest risk for severe storms will arrive. These
storms will mainly affect areas along and north of the Interstate
94 corridor, but could also affect areas to the south as well.

These storms will have the potential to produce hail of 2 inches
in diameter or larger, wind gusts of 75 mph or greater, isolated
tornadoes, and localized heavy rain.

Since the greatest risk for storms will occur when most people are sleeping tonight, plan to have a way to receive watches and warnings if and when they are issued. Have a plan of action before going to bed tonight!

The chance for thunderstorms continues Friday and Saturday across
much of western and central North Dakota. A few storms could be
strong Friday across the far south central and James River
Valley, but severe weather is not anticipated at this time.

 

 

Jamestown (CSi)  The Murphy Brothers Exposition is a big part of the 121st Annual Stutsman County Fair in Jamestown now running through this Saturday, Jun 30th in Jamestown.

55-60 workers operate the rides.

He said the carnival came to Jamestown from Grand Forks, and after Jamestown they head to the Red River Valley Fair in West Fargo, and then moves to the State Fair in Minot, then to South Dakota locations, and stops in Missouri before heading to their home base in Tulsa, for winter work on the rides etc.

Buzunis said the Stutsman County Fair is the largest county fair in North Dakota, and praised the Stutsman County Fairboard for their hard work, in putting on a quality fair every year.

West Fargo  (NDFU)  – Leaders of state farm organizations and hunger advocates led a rally Wednesday at the Red River Valley Fairgrounds in West Fargo to show support for agriculture amid ongoing issues with trade, ethanol production, nutrition programs and the farm bill.

North Dakota Farmers Union president, Mark Watne says,“Projections indicate that we’ll lose another 30 percent in farm income this year.  Trade has a direct impact on every farmer’s bottom line, and if efforts to lower ethanol production benchmarks in the Renewable Fuel Standard are successful, it will be a double whammy for North Dakota producers. More than ever, we need a strong crop insurance program, safety net and laser focus on issues that impact farm income.”

Bryan Klabunde, vice president of Minnesota Farmers Union, agreed,  saying “With a depressed agricultural economy, it’s crucial for our family farmers to have good trade agreements and a farm bill. The current uncertainty has put downward pressure on market prices.  We call on our elected officials to come to solutions soon that will benefit family farmers.”

North Dakota Dairy Coalition President Russell Edgar echoed support for equitable trade agreements. In a statement he said, 18.8 percent of all U.S. milk production is exported, some $1.3 billion in milk products to Mexico and $636 million to Canada.  U.S. dairy has a $628 billion impact to the U.S. economy.in a statement, noting that a viable guest-worker program is needed in the dairy industry with a streamlined application process for visas. He also called North Dakota a “milk deficit state,” saying investment in dairy cows and processing is badly needed.

Melissa Sobolik, director of the Great Plains Food Bank’s Ending Hunger 2.0 program Hunger relief advocates addressed rallygoers, as well, saying,the farm bill is about more than farming; it’s about the entire life cycle of food, from growing to eating.   As the only food bank in the state of North Dakota, we work with many of the federal nutrition programs in the farm bill and are proud to stand beside farmers, ranchers, commodity groups and rural organizations to ensure we have a strong safety net for those growing the food and for those eating it. Together, we can ensure a strong, bipartisan farm bill is passed.”

Sobolik noted that 54,000 North Dakotans rely on SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) benefits to put food on their tables, including farmers, ranchers and rural families.  She adds, “SNAP is our nation’s first line of defense to end hunger and we can’t turn our backs on our hungry neighbors.”

 

FARGO, N.D. (AP) — President Donald Trump urged voters Wednesday to fire “liberal Democrat” Sen. Heidi Heitkamp in November, claiming that she promised to be an independent mind but instead has voted in lockstep with her party leadership and against his agenda.

Trump called instead for the election of Republican U.S. Rep. Kevin Cramer, one of his staunchest allies in Congress.

“When Heidi ran for office, she promised to be an independent vote for the people of North Dakota,” Trump said to an arena packed with thousands of cheering supporters in Fargo. “Instead, she went to Washington and immediately joined Chuck … and Nancy,” a reference to Democratic congressional leaders Sen. Chuck Schumer and Rep. Nancy Pelosi.

But Heitkamp, one of the most vulnerable incumbents seeking re-election this year, is considered a moderate and one of the least reliably partisan Democratic votes in the Senate. She’s largely backed the oil-rich state’s corporate interests on energy and has opposed some restrictions on guns. She voted to confirm 21 of Trump’s 26 Cabinet-level nominations.

The president, however, noted Heitkamp’s votes against tax cuts he signed into law in December as well as the GOP’s long-sought goal to undo the health care program enacted by President Barack Obama.

“You need a senator who doesn’t just talk like they’re from North Dakota but votes like they’re from North Dakota,” Trump bellowed. “That’s what you need and that is Kevin Cramer.”

Called to the microphone by the president, Cramer thanked Trump for rolling back federal regulations, cutting taxes and, “on behalf of the most vulnerable forgotten people, the unborn babies, thank you for standing for life.”

 

MOORHEAD, Minn. (AP) — Authorities say remains found on a farm in western Minnesota are those of a missing North Dakota man.

The Clay County Sheriff’s Office and the prosecutor were notified the remains are those of 41-year-old Troy Yarbrough of Wahpeton, North Dakota.

Dental evidence from the scene was compared with Yarbrough’s dental records. The Ramsey County medical examiner positively identified the remains.

Yarbrough was reported missing June 9. Two people are accused of killing him on a Hitterdal-area farmstead, burning the body and burying the remains in two separate sites.

Thirty-nine-year-old Jason Jensen and 34-year-old Kayla Westcott are charged with aiding and abetting murder with intent, but without premeditation.

The complaint says the victim was hit first with a rake handle and ax and eventually died after being hit in the head with a cinder block.

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — An audit has concluded that North Dakota’s governor, lieutenant governor, office staff and first lady have used state airplanes for questionable purposes including commuting to homes outside the state capital.

A spokesman for Gov. Doug Burgum says the office’s use of state airplanes is within policy, a prudent use of taxpayer dollars, and a means of increasing efficiency and productivity.

The report by State Auditor Josh Gallion covers a two-year period ending in February. It faults the governor’s office for lacking transparency in the purpose of airplane trips and makes several recommendations, including that the office stop using state airplanes for commuting.

Legislative Audit and Fiscal Review Committee Chairman Jerry Klein says the group likely “will develop some sort of direction” on government air travel policy for next year’s Legislature.

 

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — Bismarck’s police chief will be stepping down in about a month.Chief Dan Donlin in January announced his intent to retire this summer or early fall after 30 years with the police department, including five years as chief.He’s now submitted his official letter of retirement to the city, with his last day of work being July 20.Donlin has accepted a position with the state Transportation Department’s Safety Division. 
FARGO, N.D. (AP) — The majority of most crops in North Dakota are rated in good condition as summer begins.The federal Agriculture Department says in its weekly crop report that potato and sugar beet crops in the Red River Valley are doing particularly well.Potatoes are rated 69 percent good and 28 percent excellent, and sugar beets are 76 percent excellent.Topsoil moisture supplies statewide are rated 80 percent adequate to surplus, and subsoil moisture is 68 percent in those categories.Pasture and range conditions statewide are mostly rated fair or good. Stockwater supplies are mostly rated adequate. 

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — An attorney for royalty owners says a study aiming to resolve disputes over oil and gas ownership under North Dakota’s Lake Sakakawea could lead to more lawsuits unless a consultant’s report is modified.

The Bismarck Tribune reports that the state Industrial Commission held a public hearing Tuesday on a study of the ordinary high water mark of the Missouri River as it existed before the Garrison Dam, which created Lake Sakakawea.

The study conducted by engineering consultant Wenck Associates investigated a 1950s river survey conducted by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The study concluded the state owns 10,400 more acres than the corps survey showed.

John Swanson represents several families with mineral rights under the lake. He says the study’s findings are an “unconstitutional taking” of private property.
