Jamestown (NDFU) – North Dakota Farmers Union has won a lawsuit to uphold the state’s corporate farming law.

Judge Daniel L. Hovland of the U.S. District Court for North Dakota handed down a decision Friday to preserve the Depression-era law, saying “the purpose of enacting the family farm exception was to help keep family farms viable.” North Dakota Farm Bureau had filed the lawsuit in June of 2016.The decision allows the North Dakota attorney general to continue to enforce the law as it has been doing – allowing only family farmers, ranchers and corporations or LLCs owned by families to farm in North Dakota. The state of North Dakota defended the law, and NDFU and the Dakota Resource Council were allowed to intervene.

“We are proud to be on the right side of history again,” said NDFU President Mark Watne. “Family farmers and ranchers are the both the legacy of our state and the future. We know the great majority of North Dakotans throughout our history and today agree that corporate farming is not right for our communities, our food system, or our state. The court’s ruling today reinforces the purpose of the law: to keep farming and farmland in the hands of family farmers.”

In 2015, North Dakota legislators passed a hog and dairy exemption to the law. NDFU responded by referring the law to a public vote, collecting over 21,000 signatures. In 2016, voters overwhelmingly cast their ballots to reject the changes made by legislators with almost 76 percent of the vote. Farm Bureau filed the lawsuit in federal court in June of 2016, calling the law “unconstitutional.”

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — A $30 million natural gas pipeline proposed in northwestern North Dakota would cross under the Missouri River.

The Bismarck Tribune reports the Army Corps of Engineers is reviewing a permit application from Kinder Morgan for the 10-mile pipeline that would go beneath the river for about 2 1/2 miles in Williams and McKenzie counties.

The company says the water crossing would be done using horizontal drilling, with the pipe installed at least 140 feet below the bottom of the river’s Lake Sakakawea reservoir.

The pipeline would move natural gas that would otherwise be flared off due to insufficient pipeline capacity.

Kinder Morgan also wants to expand the capacity of the Roosevelt Gas Plant in McKenzie County. The state Public Service Commission has scheduled a public hearing Thursday in Watford City.

 

 

DEVILS LAKE, N.D. (AP) — Devils Lake city commissioners will decide next month whether to move forward on a controversial $6.4 million project to revamp downtown streets.

The Devils Lake Journal reports some downtown business owners have questioned the scope of the project and the loss of nearly 50 parking spaces.

Public Works Director Mike Grafsgaard says changes have been made to the original design to accommodate the concerns. Half of the parking spots that would have been eliminated have been added back in.

The city would be responsible for 20 percent of the cost of the project, plus design and engineering costs, for a total of $1.6 million. Federal money would pay the rest. The local portion would be split between sales tax and property special assessments.
