Carrington (Sen. Heitkamp’s Office) U.S. Senator Heidi Heitkamp Friday continued her discussions with farmers, ranchers, agriculture leaders, and faith leaders in Carrington and Wahpeton to discuss North Dakota priorities in the Farm Bill being debated in Congress and the damaging impact of the administration’s escalating trade war. Thursday, she held similar meetings in Mandan and Minot.
In Carrington, Friday, Heitkamp met with representatives from the North Dakota Barley Council, Farm Crop Insurance Corporation Board, and farmers from the region at the Carrington Research Extension Center. Following their discussion of the Farm Bill and trade policy priorities, Heitkamp toured the center’s facilities and test plots to learn about their latest work in agriculture research, which she prioritized in the Farm Bill.
In Wahpeton, Heitkamp met with representatives from the North Dakota Grain Growers Association, North Dakota Corn Growers Association, Great Plains Food Bank, the FSA state director, and local farmers at Ag Country Farm Credit Services.
Heitkamp, a member of the Senate Agriculture Committee, helped pass a Senate Farm Bill with overwhelming bipartisan support which includes many provisions she fought for to support North Dakota agriculture. The Senate and the U.S. House of Representatives must now work to find an agreement on the Farm Bill before the current bill expires in September.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — North Dakota’s largest farm group is pushing for adjustments to crop insurance payments to protect farmers from international trade retaliations.
The Bismarck Tribune reports that the U.S. House and Senate versions of a new Farm Bill are heading to conference committee. The North Dakota Farmers Union sees the bill as an opportunity to raise reference prices for price loss coverage crop insurance plans.
The insurance plan provides payments when a commodity’s marketing year average price falls below the reference price set by Congress in the 2014 Farm Bill.
Farmers are facing an unfriendly market as negotiations for new agreements with U.S. trade partners continue to flounder. Canada announced new tariffs earlier this week and China imposed $34 billion in retaliatory tariffs on U.S. products Friday.
BLACKFOOT, Idaho (AP) — A motorcyclist was killed after hitting a bus near Blackfoot, Idaho.
The Idaho State Journal reports that Corey Beeson of Williston, North Dakota, was riding a Yamaha motorcycle west on U.S. Highway 26 at about 12:15 p.m. Saturday.
At about that same time, Rocio Perez of Blackfoot was turning onto the highway in a 2002 Ford bus.
Perez entered the highway in front of the motorcycle and Beeson was unable to stop, striking the driver’s side of the bus.
Beeson was not wearing a helmet and was taken to Bingham Memorial Hospital in Blackfoot, where he died.
Beeson’s passenger, Priscilla McCarty of Blackfoot was taken by air ambulance to Eastern Idaho Regional Medical Center in Idaho Falls.
The crash is still under investigation by Idaho State Police.

Tinkergarten classes are held once a week, typically over a 10-week period during the spring, summer and fall seasons. They take place at local parks and include expert-designed curriculum geared toward children from 18 months to 8 years old, the Bismarck Tribune reported .
