BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – Some Upper Midwest farmers are worried they won’t qualify for crop insurance on land they couldn’t plant because it was too wet.
At issue is a rule affecting whether farmers qualify for “prevented planting” payments for cropland that’s too wet or dry to plant. To qualify, a farmer has to have been able to plant a crop on the land at least once in the previous four years.
Some farmers believe they won’t qualify this year because of a federal memo that some believe indicates last year doesn’t count toward the one-in-four requirement because it was abnormally dry.
Federal officials say farmers are misinterpreting the memo. But they won’t say that 2012 may be used as a qualifying year, saying it’s up to insurance providers to determine a farmer’s eligibility.

Fargo’s Liquor Control Board earlier this week voted 4-1 to amend the law that requires the city commission to consider the protest of neighboring property owners and economic impact of nearby businesses before issuing a license.
Fargo Mayor Dennis Walaker says it’s an “awfully ambiguous” law that should be changed.

Board president Kay Kiefersays the issue is a balancing act between getting permission from the taxpayers and complaints from residents about “a little bit of bond fatigue.”
The board is scheduled to decide Monday whether to accept the Long Range Facility Planning Task Force’s recommendation to approve the new school.
Kiefer says she expects “lively discussion” at the meeting.

WILLISTON, N.D. (AP) – Two Louisiana men have brought their mobile motel – along with some Cajun cuisine – to the North Dakota oil patch.
The lodge houses 150 oilfield workers and is meant to provide a hotel-like atmosphere with larger rooms and more privacy than the typical man camps that require residents to have roommates or share bathrooms.
The facility is managed by Ricky Comardelle (COM’-ur-dell), who has provided living quarters for Gulf of Mexico oil workers for 25 years, and his son, Dex, who was working toward a degree in hospitality management at the University of Louisiana when he heard about the oil boom.
Dex Comardelle says tasty food is a priority at the lodge. He says Cajun night is a big hit with workers from the South.

SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) – The commissioner of the Missouri Valley Football Conference – which includes two schools from South Dakota and one from North Dakota – says her league would be hurt the most if the Big Ten Conference stops scheduling smaller Division I colleges.
The Big Ten says it is unlikely to schedule Football Championship Subdivision teams now that Rutgers and Maryland are joining the league and a playoff system is being planned in the upper tier of Division I.
Missouri Valley commissioner Patty Viverito tells the Sioux Falls Argus Leader that her league has close ties to the Big Ten, mainly because teams from the conferences are located in the same area.
Viverito says there’s always a lot of interest in games between Missouri Valley and Big Ten teams.
