‘Fresh from North Dakota’: new videos highlight North Dakota-grown products
BISMARCK, N.D. (KFYR) – North Dakota farmers produce 54 different commodities, including crops such as durum, hard red spring wheat, sunflowers, canola, flax, dry beans to black beans, peas, lentils, chickpeas and honey.
But when it comes to using those North Dakota-grown foods in your cooking, you might be stumped. The North Dakota Department of Agriculture has some new videos that might help.
North Dakota Chef Stephanie Miller is passionate about good food and about her home state.
“I grew up here,” Miller said. “It’s our home.”
So, she jumped at the chance to talk about both in these new videos produced by the North Dakota Department of Agriculture.
“It’s my responsibility to promote farmers and ranchers in our state,” she said.
In one video, Miller shares tips to make a charcuterie board, featuring locally grown foods. It’s one of three videos showcasing the abundance of crops grown in North Dakota, and some easy tips to cook and preserve a variety of North Dakota-grown foods. The idea is to start a conversation about foods grown right here in North Dakota, and provide some easy ways to incorporate them into your cooking.
“I think sometimes people just get a little anxious because it’s like, ‘I want to have lentils and peas and I want to experience some of these things, but they’re always better at someone else’s place or at the restaurant.’ Well, now we have recipes for you. We’re showing you how you can set it up and what you can do,” said Goehring.
Ag Commissioner Doug Goehring hopes it might also provide an understanding of where our food comes from, and the important role North Dakota producers play in feeding the world.
You can watch all the videos on the ND Agriculture Department’s website and social media channels — YouTube and X (twitter.com).
They release a new episode every Wednesday.

The South Dakota delegates to the Democratic National Convention met virtually Monday night and voted unanimously to endorse Vice President Kamala Harris as their nominee in the 2024 presidential race.
South Dakota Democrats hopeful, not yet ready to endorse Harris as presidential nominee
In voting to endorse Harris, South Dakota Democrats fell in line with other state and national Democratic leaders who quickly followed the lead from President Joe Biden, who dropped out of the 2024 race via social media Sunday afternoon and endorsed Harris as his successor shortly thereafter.
Democrats in Nebraska, Maryland, Florida, New Hampshire, Alabama, North Carolina and Virginia were among the states where Democrats backed Harris as of Monday evening.
Harris has also picked up endorsements from key leaders at the national level. California Gov. Gavin Newsom, mentioned as a possible Democratic contender himself, endorsed Harris quickly on Sunday. Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi endorsed Harris Monday. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries had not endorsed Harris as of Monday evening, but Jeffries said earlier in the day that Harris had “excited the House Democratic Caucus and she’s exciting the country.”
Late Monday evening, the New York Times, CNN and other national media organizations reported that Harris had secured the backing of more than the 1,976 delegates needed to win the nomination in the first round of voting at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago next month. The news came by way of a poll from The Associated Press, which broke the story.
The poll listed 2,668 delegates pledged to Harris and 54 undecided as of 10 p.m. CST Monday.
The Democratic National Committee will move forward with the process to formally nominate a presidential candidate Wednesday when its Rules Committee meets in a public virtual session amid ongoing efforts to set up a virtual roll call vote ahead of the convention next month in Chicago, according to reporting from States Newsroom.
South Dakota Democrats backed Biden with around 75% of the vote in the state’s June 4 primary. In a news release, the South Dakota Democratic Party announced that its 20 voting delegates to the August convention had voted unanimously to back Harris.
“We thank President Biden for his leadership throughout his career and for choosing Kamala Harris four years ago to be his Vice President,” said Delegate Chair Jessica Meyers. “Harris has proven that she is more than equipped to take on the Presidency and we as a delegation are looking forward to casting the official vote for her.”

BISMARCK – Hunters can now apply for a 2024 North Dakota swan license
on the Game and Fish Department’s website
at gf.nd.gov, the department said Monday, July 22.
North Dakota residents and nonresidents are eligible to apply. The resident swan license is $10, while the nonresident fee is $30. The application deadline is Aug. 21.
North Dakota’s statewide tundra swan hunting season opens Sept. 28, and 2,200 licenses are available. Successful applicants will receive a tag to take one swan during the season. Since swans are classified as waterfowl, nonresidents may hunt them only during the period their nonresident waterfowl license is valid.
All swan hunters, regardless of age, are required to have a general game and habitat license when applying. In addition, nonresidents must have a waterfowl license, and residents 16 and older need a small game or combination license.
