Spiritwood () Midwest AgEnergy’s Dakota Spirit biorefinery recently hosted a delegation of Taiwanese feed manufacturers and merchandisers to learn more about the biorefinery process and how one of the bi-products becomes high-quality dry distillers’ grain (DDGS).
Taiwan is an important trade counterparty for US feed grains and DDGS.
During the tour, the delegation expressed their preference for high quality feed ingredients and especially noted their concern over mycotoxins such as aflatoxin and DON (vomitoxin) in feeds and raw materials. They were happy to note the low incidence of these toxins in ND corn and are very interested in the high-quality DDGS product that is produced at both Midwest AgEnergy biorefineries in Spiritwood and Underwood.
Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer for Midwest AgEnergy, Phil Coffin says, “Dakota Spirit was thrilled for the opportunity to host the delegation from Taiwan. International partnerships are so vital in creating and maintaining markets for DDGS, which in turn benefit the producers who supply North Dakota corn.”
The delegation were guests of the US Grains Council, the ND Corn Utilization Council and the ND Corn Growers Association. They were accompanied by Dr. Yao-Ching Hsieh, a Director of Taiwan’s Council of Agriculture, and Michael Lu, Director of US Grains Council’s Taiwan Office.
Thanks to ND Corn and the US Grains Council for showcasing Midwest AgEnergy as they continue to build relationships with our international friends.

GRAND FORKS, N.D. (AP) — A motorist has been charged with drunken driving after police say they found her passed out behind the wheel and blocking traffic at an intersection in Grand Forks.
Officers initially were unsuccessful in waking the 24-year-old woman Sunday evening. They saw the car was still in drive and that the woman had her foot on the brake. They couldn’t get into the car because it was locked, so officers placed a patrol car in front of the woman’s vehicle to prevent her from suddenly taking off and causing a crash.
The woman eventually woke up and drove into the patrol car causing minor damage to both vehicles. No one was hurt.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — The North Dakota Oil and Gas Division says a pipeline leak caused 4,050 barrels of brine to spill at a saltwater disposal well south of Williston.
The division said Monday Oasis Petroleum North America recovered the majority of the brine, which was contained on site.
Also, Murex Petroleum Corporation reported Monday that 650 barrels of brine released due to a valve leak at a saltwater well southwest of Fortuna in Divide County Saturday. About 600 barrels have been recovered so far.
In Mountrail County, a valve leak also caused 300 barrels of brine to spill at a well southwest of New Town. All the product was recovered.
State inspectors were sent to the three sites to monitor cleanup.
DEADWOOD, S.D. (AP) — Deadwood mayor and South Dakota Republican state Rep. Chuck Turbiville has died. He was 75.
The Lawrence County Sheriff’s Office says Turbiville died early Saturday in his home of a probable stroke.
Turbiville was Deadwood’s mayor for six years. He served 10 years in the Legislature and was seeking re-election next month.
He told the Black Hills Pioneer in an email Friday that he wanted “to make South Dakota a safe and enjoyable place to raise our children.”
Gov. Dennis Daugaard called Turbiville “a true gentlemen” who “made every visit to Deadwood special.”
Daugaard does not plan to appoint a successor to serve the final months of Turbiville’s term. Turbiville’s name will remain on the ballot. If he is re-elected, the new governor will appoint a replacement.

Jamestown (Katie Ryan Anderson) The University of Jamestown is organizing a campus-wide Pink Out on Wednesday, Oct. 24 in celebration of the No Excuses program at Jamestown Regional Medical Center.
The campus will wear pink all day AND the men’s and women’s basketball teams will wear pink at their games that night. T-shirt sale proceeds benefit No Excuses!
No Excuses is the event in which healthcare partners in the community remove all barriers to women’s health exams like cervical screenings and 3D mammograms. Barriers include: finances, fear, transportation, childcare, etc. The community created No Excuses because Stutsman County had one of the LOWEST rates of women receiving mammograms. Today, that is no longer the case.
World and national news…
APACHULA, Mexico (AP) — A spokesman for El Salvador’s president says the government hopes that tensions over a migrant caravan advancing through Mexico with a goal of reaching the U.S. border decrease after the U.S. midterm elections Nov. 6.
U.S. President Donald Trump said Monday via Twitter that El Salvador, Honduras and Guatemala had failed to stop people from leaving their countries. He added: “We will now begin cutting off, or substantially reducing, the massive foreign aid routinely given to them.”
Roberto Lorenzana said that El Salvador did what it could, but the caravan did not cross through its territory.
Lorenzana expressed “confidence in the maturity of United States authorities to continue strengthening a positive relationship with our country.”
He said El Salvador has significantly reduced violence, which was driving migrants, and that the flow of Salvadoran migrants has dropped 60 percent in two years.
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump says the U.S. will begin “cutting off, or substantially reducing” aid to three Central American nations over a migrant caravan heading to the U.S. southern border.
Trump tweets: “Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador were not able to do the job of stopping people from leaving their country and coming illegally to the U.S.”
The three countries received a combined more than $500 million in funding from the U.S. in fiscal year 2017.
Trump has raised alarm over thousands of migrants traveling through Mexico to the U.S., saying, “Sadly, it looks like Mexico’s Police and Military are unable to stop the Caravan.”
He adds: “I have alerted Border Patrol and Military that this is a National Emergy.” White House officials could not immediately provide details.
WASHINGTON (AP) — LGBT leaders are reacting furiously to a report that the Trump administration is considering a new definition of gender that would effectively deny federal recognition and civil rights protections to transgender Americans.
Activists are pledging legal challenges if such a change is put in place, and they say it would run counter to numerous court rulings.
According to The New York Times, a draft memo circulated by the Health and Human Services Department proposes defining gender as an immutable biological condition determined by a person’s sex organs at birth.
Such a policy, if in place, would be the latest administration move targeting transgender rights. That includes an attempt by President Donald Trump to ban transgender people from military service.
The administration has refused to comment on the memo.
ISTANBUL (AP) — Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has called an emergency meeting with Cabinet ministers and senior government officials to discuss what he called the “horrible murder” of writer Jamal Khashoggi in the Saudi Consulate in Istanbul.
Trudeau’s office said Monday the Saudi explanations lack “consistency and credibility.”
Trudeau called an “Incident Response Group meeting,” which his office says is convened during a national crisis or during incidents elsewhere that have major implications for Canada.
Trudeau said in Parliament he wouldn’t hesitate to freeze arms export permits but didn’t say if Canada would cancel a 2014 multi-billion-dollar deal to supply light-armored vehicles to the Saudis. Canada’s previous government made the deal.
Saudi Arabia had a diplomatic dispute with Canada this summer over the Saudi arrest of women’s rights activists.
WASHINGTON (AP) — Sandra Day O’Connor, the first woman on the Supreme Court has stepped back from public life.
For more than a decade after leaving the court in 2006, O’Connor kept up an active schedule. She served as a visiting federal appeals court judge, spoke on issues she cared about and founded her own education organization. But the 88-year-old is now fully retired. She last made public appearances over two years ago. This summer she turned over an office she had kept at the Supreme Court to the court’s most recently retired justice, Anthony Kennedy.
Her son Jay O’Connor said in a telephone interview that his mother began to have challenges with her short-term memory. That made some public events more difficult. He says she now stays close to her Phoenix home.
CHICAGO (AP) — With the Mega Millions lottery jackpot at a record $1.6 billion, people are snapping up tickets across the U.S.
The Powerball jackpot also has climbed. It’s up to an estimated $620 million for Wednesday’s drawing. That would make it the fifth-largest jackpot in U.S. history.
But much of the focus has been on Tuesday’s Mega Millions drawing and what would be the largest jackpot prize in U.S. history.
From San Diego to New York, people are dreaming of how they would spend the money should they beat the astronomical odds of winning.
Mega Millions is played in 44 states, as well as Washington, D.C., and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Powerball is played in the same places, plus Puerto Rico.
MEXICO CITY (AP) — The U.S. National Hurricane Center says Hurricane Willa has grown into a potentially catastrophic Category 5 storm on a track toward the Mexican coast south of Mazatlan.
Willa has maximum sustained winds of 160 mph (260 kph), though it’s projected to weaken somewhat before hitting land late Tuesday. It is still likely to be an extremely dangerous hurricane when it hits.
It’s located about 135 miles (215 kilometers) south-southwest of Cabo Corrientes and is heading north at 7 mph (11 kph).
