Jamestown\u00a0 (NDFU) \u00a0 North Dakota Farmers Union\u00a0 urges the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) to strengthen the nation\u2019s food supply chain by restoring competition and fairness in markets that are dominated by a handful of multinational companies.<\/p>\n
In comments submitted to USDA\u2019s Agricultural Marketing Service, Farmers Union called for greater antitrust enforcement and outlined instances of growing concentration in agriculture and food supply chains that have jeopardized our nation\u2019s food system resilience. The most egregious event occurred last year in the early months of the COVID-19 pandemic, causing meatpacking plant closures that resulted in major financial losses to ranchers when the spread between fed cattle and boxed beef prices soared by more than 300%.<\/p>\n
North Dakota Farmers Union President Mark Watne, says, \u201cWithout competition in the marketplace, farmers and ranchers make less money, and consumers pay more for food.\u00a0 Market concentration is weakening our food supply chain and the ability of everyone to put food on the table.\u201d<\/p>\n
For decades, Watne said Farmers Union has called for USDA to take antitrust action against anticompetitive behavior in consolidated ag markets. While Farmers Union continues to urge USDA to act, it also is calling for expanded local and regional processing and supply chains, stronger truth-in-labeling laws, and relaxed barriers to intrastate and interstate sales of meat. Watne adds, \u201cThis would give farmers and ranchers more alternatives and better market opportunities.”<\/p>\n
Additionally, Farmers Union is calling on USDA to immediately leverage existing rural development programs for investment in local and regional processing projects, and greater support for farmer-owned cooperatives.<\/p>\n

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) \u2014 North Dakota legislative leaders are standing by a new state law that limits emergency spending by a governor-led panel. Republican Senate Majority Leader Rich Wardner says that criticism that the new law could hamper the state\u2019s ability to address emergency spending is unwarranted. The Legislature passed the bill after the state received $1.2 billion in federal coronavirus relief funding last year. The commission is led by Burgum. It largely determined how the money would be spent, angering many lawmakers. North Dakota Attorney General Wayne Stenehjem says the law may not survive a court challenge.<\/p>\n

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) \u2014 A Bismarck woman accused of stabbing her ex-husband and leaving her young children home alone while she stalked him has been sentenced to two years of probation. Forty-four-year-old Melanie Nimley was originally charged with attempted murder in an attack on her ex-husband last November. Nimley pleaded guilty Monday to an amended charge of aggravated assault, as well as terrorizing and contributing to the delinquency of a minor, all misdemeanors. Nimley is accused of stabbing her husband near his right shoulder blade as he drove her home.<\/p>\n
(AP)\u00a0 U.S. Interior Secretary Deb Haaland and other federal officials are expected to announce steps that the federal government plans to take to reconcile the legacy of boarding school policies on Indigenous families and communities. The recent discovery of children\u2019s remains buried at the site of what was once Canada\u2019s largest Indigenous residential school has rekindled interest in that legacy both in Canada and the United States. The first Native American to serve as a Cabinet secretary, Haaland is scheduled Tuesday to outline a path forward while addressing members of the National Congress of American Indians during the group\u2019s midyear conference.<\/p>\n

WASHINGTON (AP) \u2014 Records obtained by a government watchdog show that roughly 900 U.S. Secret Service employees tested positive for the coronavirus. The group Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington says that 881 people on the Secret Service payroll were diagnosed with COVID-19 between March 1, 2020 and March 9, 2021. That’s based on Secret Service records received through a Freedom of Information Act request. It did not include the names or assignments of those who tested positive. But more than half worked in the special agent division, which is responsible for protecting the president and vice president, as well as the families of these leaders and other government officials.<\/p>\n
SALT LAKE CITY (AP) \u2014 Records show the number of people stopped from buying guns through the U.S. background check system hit an all-time high of more than 300,000 last year amid a surge of firearm sales. The records obtained by the group Everytown for Gun Safety and provided to The Associated Press show the background checks blocked nearly twice as many gun sales in 2020 as in the year before. About 42% of those denials were because the would-be buyers had felony convictions on their records. The increase in blocked gun sales largely tracks with the record-setting surge in sales that took hold along with the coronavirus pandemic and has continued this year.<\/p>\n

NEW YORK (AP) \u2014 Thirteen Democrats and two Republicans engaged in a last effort to rally supporters Tuesday as voters cast their ballots in New York City\u2019s mayoral primary, the first citywide election to use ranked choice voting. Several candidates in the race have the potential to make history if elected. The city could get its first female mayor, its first Asian American mayor or its second Black mayor. But with the debut of the ranked voting system and a mountain of absentee ballots still at least a week away from being counted, it could be July before a winner emerges in the Democratic contest.<\/p>\n

NEW YORK (AP) \u2014 The S&P 500 is nudging closer to its record high on Tuesday, while the rest of Wall Street is drifting in mixed trading, as markets continue to calm following last week\u2019s jolt from the Federal Reserve. The S&P 500 was 0.4% higher in afternoon trading and back within 0.3% of its all-time high set two Mondays ago. It had dropped as much as 2.1% from its record after the Fed said on Wednesday it\u2019s begun making plans to eventually offer less support to markets. Fed Chair Jerome Powell is speaking at a Congressional subcommittee hearing about the central bank\u2019s response to the pandemic.<\/p>\n

CHICAGO (AP) \u2014 The National Weather Service says a tornado that swept through Chicago\u2019s western suburbs, damaging more than 100 homes and injuring several people, was packing 140 mph winds when it hit the heavily populated area. A weather service team that surveyed the aftermath of Sunday night\u2019s tornado says it was an EF3 tornado on the Enhanced Fujita scale when it cut through parts of Naperville, Woodridge, Darien and Burr Ridge. Meteorologist Jake Petr says the weather service planned to visit northwestern Indiana on Tuesday to determine if damage in the Hobart and South Haven areas was also caused by a tornado. Two EF1 tornadoes packing winds up to 100 mph struck northern Indiana\u2019s St. Joseph and Steuben counties. In southeast Michigan, an EF1 tornado was confirmed in Lenawee County.<\/p>\n

ST. LOUIS (AP) \u2014 St. Louis lawyer and U.S. Senate candidate Mark McCloskey may have been forced to give up his old semi-automatic rifle, but now, he has a new one. McCloskey on Saturday posted on Twitter of photo of himself posing with an AR-15 at a gun store. McCloskey and his wife, Patricia, earned national attention last June when they waved guns at racial injustice protesters who ventured near their St. Louis mansion. Both were indicted on felony weapons charges. They pleaded guilty to misdemeanors in a plea agreement last week, and a judge ordered the destruction of the two weapons. Mark McCloskey announced in May he will run for Senate next year.<\/p>\n
DENVER (AP) \u2014 A police officer who was one of three people killed in a shooting at a suburban Denver shopping district was a school resource officer known for developing relationships with students. Police have not explained what started the shootout on Monday that also killed a suspect and a man they described as a Samaritan near a library in downtown Arvada. The area is home to popular shops, restaurants, breweries and other businesses about 7 miles northwest of downtown Denver. Authorities were expected to disclose more information Tuesday afternoon. They have not identified the other two people who died.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
