Other entities assisting with the project include the North Dakota Outdoor Heritage Fund, Stutsman Soil Conservation District, and Farmers Union Agronomy.

North Dakota Precision Ag and Conservation Specialist with Pheasants Forever, Austin Lange says they would build the pollinator mix and demo plot located on just under two acres of land.
He says, the idea is to educate the students on the role of flowering plants and pollinators in the ecosystem, to demonstrate what some of these plants look like, as well as provide benefits to wildlife, soil health, and other environmental benefits.
Once completed, the project will be maintained by the students with assistance from each entity. Lange says the educational opportunity will also come with some leisure activity beneficial to the area.
He also hopes it will be a good place for the public to enjoy birds and other wildlife, as well as have educational opportunities and more, a place that can be used in the future for hikers, bird watchers, and for education and an outdoor classroom.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Senate Republicans are poised to block the creation of a special commission to study the deadly Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol. That action would dash hopes for a bipartisan investigation amid a GOP push to put the violent insurrection by Donald Trump’s supporters behind them. A vote on the procedural motion was bumped to Friday after delays on an unrelated bill. Broad Republican opposition was expected even as Capitol Police officers and relatives of an officer who died went office to office asking GOP senators to support it. The siege was the worst attack on the Capitol in 200 years and interrupted the certification of Joe Biden’s presidential election win over Trump.
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Senate is set to approve a big innovation bill aimed at making the U.S. more competitive with China and other countries. The measure slogging through Congress includes $50 billion in emergency funds to shore up domestic computer chip manufacturing amid a shortfall that’s hit businesses across a range of industries. Senators had been expected to vote late Thursday, but proceedings came to a standstill when Republican Sen. Ron Johnson of Wisconsin protested the rush to finish and insisted on more changes to the sprawling package. The American Innovation and Competition Act is key to President Joe Biden’s infrastructure plans.
BOSTON (AP) — Microsoft says the state-backed Russian cyber spies behind the SolarWinds hacking campaign launched a targeted spear-phishing assault on U.S. and foreign government agencies and think tanks this week. It says they did so by gaining access to an email marketing account of the U.S. Agency for International Development and masquerading as the government body. Microsoft did not say how many of the attempts may have led to successful intrusions.
(AP) Former House Speaker Paul Ryan is joining the fight against Donald Trump, urging fellow conservatives to reject the former president’s divisive politics and the Republican leaders who emulate him. Ryan made the remarks Thursday during an evening address at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in California after two years of relative silence. Referencing the Capitol insurrection that Trump inspired, Ryan said it was “horrifying to see a presidency come to such a dishonorable and disgraceful end.” He says conservatives are at a crossroads and urged Republicans against embracing “the populist appeal of one personality” or “second-rate imitations.”
