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.

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.

 

GRAND FORKS, N.D. (AP) — The North Dakota Bureau of Criminal Investigation is reviewing the fatal shooting of a suspect by Grand Forks police.The shooting happened Sunday after police responded to a report of a suicidal subject with a gun.

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — A new class in Bismarck allows students to go outside and become one with nature, learn self-reliance, creativity and problem-solving.

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 .

The program was originally founded in 2012 by Brian and Meghan Fitzgerald. Nikki Bushaw decided to start the classes in Bismarck to provide a new option for parents that they can also engage in.

Each class has five parts: an opening activity and song, circle time to discuss the day’s lesson, a main activity, clean-up time and snack time.

MLB-NEWS

UNDATED (AP) — For the first time in three years the Royals began a game without Alcides (al-SEE’-dehs) Escobar in the lineup.

Escobar had started 421 consecutive games, the longest streak in the majors until manager Ned Yost kept him on the bench Sunday against Boston. The struggling shortstop is hitting .194 with 16 extra-base hits in 309 at-bats for a ballclub that currently owns the second-worst record in the majors.

In addition, Yost said Jason Hammel is being removed from the rotation after going 2-11 with a hefty 6.16 ERA this season.

The Royals also placed Jakob Junis on the disabled list with back tightness and recalled pitcher Glenn Sparkman from Triple-A Omaha. Junis has dropped his last seven starts.

Also in the majors:

— The Brewers have activated centerfielder Lorenzo Cain off the 10-day disabled list and placed outfielder Ryan Braun and catcher Manny Pina on the DL as part of eight roster moves. Cain has been out since June 24 after hitting .291 with eight homers and 26 RBIs in his first 72 games this season.

— The Rangers have acquired right-handed pitchers Cory Gearrin and Jason Bahr, and outfielder Austin Jackson from the Giants for a player to be named later or cash considerations. The 32-year-old Gearrin has a 1-1 record with one save and a 4.20 ERA over 35 relief appearances this season, and Jackson is batting .242 with 13 RBIs in 59 games.

BAGHDAD (AP) — Nearly a third of the sentences handed down in Iraq’s trials of accused Islamic State group members are death sentences. But the trials are so fast and the evidence so thin that even the president is wary of approving the execution orders, as the law required before than can be carried out. Often convictions depend on the word of informants, who can sometimes be motivated by personal grudges.
