MOORHEAD, Minn. (AP) — American Crystal Sugar has already ended its fall sugar beet harvest in the Red River Valley.
KFGO-AM reports the Moorhead-based cooperative ended its harvest on Saturday.
American Crystal has not released the number of acres that were not harvested. The co-op has five processing plants in the Red River Valley.
Melting water from an early snow last month has aggravated flooding from heavy rains in September and October, leaving many sugar beets frozen into place.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — North Dakota environmental regulators want public input as they prepare to take greater control of emissions from oilfield facilities.
The Department of Environmental Quality has scheduled a hearing Tuesday in Bismarck, the Bismarck Tribune reported.
The Legislature this year approved funding for the agency so that the state can administer the federal emissions program.
North Dakota already has rules in place to prevent emissions of natural gas extracted from oil wells from escaping into the atmosphere. The state requires companies to install emission controls at well sites.
Oil companies must also comply with federal Environmental Protection Agency rules that seek to prevent emissions of volatile organic compounds, a source of pollutants within gas that can contribute to smog.
“It sets out a process by which companies need to maintain, inspect and report issues related to their operations,” Environmental Quality Director Dave Glatt said.
The hearing Tuesday also will give the public a chance to weigh in on a formal petition from oil producer Continental Resources to change the state’s emissions rules, a request that comes as the company and Environmental Quality await a state Supreme Court decision on a separate lawsuit that Continental filed over the state’s emissions enforcement procedures.
Continental maintains that the state has imposed a “zero leaks” rule that “is impossible to achieve with current technology” and is more stringent than federal rules, the company said in its June petition to the department.

LA PAZ, Bolivia (AP) — U.S. President Donald Trump says the resignation of Bolivian President Evo Morales is a significant moment for democracy in the Western Hemisphere.
Trump says the United States applauds the Bolivian people for demanding freedom and the Bolivian military for abiding by its oath to protect Bolivia’s constitution.
Bolivia’s first indigenous president resigned on Sunday after the military called for him to quit, and following weeks of protests since a disputed election.
Trump says Morales’ departure preserves democracy and paves the way for the Bolivian people to have their voices heard.
Trump also says the events in Bolivia send a strong signal to Venezuela and Nicaragua “that democracy and the will of the people will always prevail.”
He says: “We are now one step closer to a completely democratic, prosperous, and free Western Hemisphere.”
ANKARA, Turkey (AP) — Turkey says a U.S. national who is a member of the Islamic State group has been deported home as Ankara begins repatriating captured foreign IS fighters.
Interior Ministry’s spokesman Ismail Catakli also said on Monday that seven German nationals would be returned on Nov. 14. There was no immediate information on the IS suspects.
Turkey has over the past weeks criticized European nations for refusing to take back their nationals. It has vowed to send back IS militants — even if their citizenships have been revoked.
Interior Minister Suleyman Soylu has said that Turkey is not a hotel for IS militants and that Ankara would begin repatriating IS militants as of Monday.
Soylu did not provide any numbers or say which countries they would be sent back to.
HONG KONG (AP) — Hong Kong’s leader says her administration will “spare no effort” in bringing an end to anti-government protests that have wracked the city for more than five months.
Carrie Lam spoke to reporters Monday during a day of spiraling violence that included the shooting by police of an unarmed protester and the setting on fire of a man during an argument over national identity.
Lam said she did not want to go into details, but her comments are likely to fuel speculation that harsher legal and police measures may be in the works.
Lam also said there would be no giving way to protesters’ demands for political concessions.
“If there is still any wishful thinking that, by escalating violence, the Hong Kong SAR government will yield to pressure to satisfy the so-called political demands, I am making this statement clear and loud here: That will not happen,” Lam said, using the initials for Special Administrative Region, which describes the city’s status as a semi-autonomous Chinese territory.
WASHINGTON (AP) — A federal judge in Washington has dismissed a lawsuit from President Donald Trump against New York officials aimed at preventing the release of his tax returns.
The judge ruled that the U.S. District Court in Washington, D.C., does not have jurisdiction to hear the case.
Trump sued New York’s attorney general, tax commissioner and the House and Ways Means Committee in July. The suit sought an injunction to block the application of a New York state law that could allow the Democratic-controlled House to obtain the returns.
New York officials had agreed to delay acting on a congressional request for Trump’s tax returns until there was a ruling on jurisdiction. But Trump could file a similar lawsuit in another court.
Trump’s lawyer Jay Sekulow says he’s reviewing the ruling.
THE HAGUE, Netherlands (AP) — Gambia has filed a case at the United Nations’ highest court accusing Myanmar of genocide in its campaign against the Rohingya Muslim minority.

Gambia filed the case on behalf of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation.

The Rojava Information Center, an activist collective, said two motorcycles blew up in a market and a third exploded shortly afterward.
