North Dakota Agriculture Day at the state Capitol

FARGO, N.D. (Valley News Live) – Gov. Armstrong has proclaimed March 18, 2025, as North Dakota Agriculture Day. The designation follows the national agriculture day. Agriculture-related groups celebrated on Monday with an event at the state Capitol.
“Many of these groups had display booths and tables in the Memorial and Legislative Halls today,” Agriculture Commissioner Doug Goehring said. “We were glad to see legislators, Capitol employees and visitors stopping by these displays to learn more about the vital role of agriculture in our state, and enjoying a meal showcasing some of the commodities our farmers and ranchers produce.”
“North Dakota has been blessed with abundant resources and a varied landscape that enable our farmers and ranchers to produce food, feed, fiber and fuel for families near and far,” Goehring continued. “We want them to know that North Dakota appreciates all they do.”
Goehring said more than 20 agriculture-related organizations, associations and agencies participated in the event.

North Dakota Dairy Farm Plans to Add Processing

(File image)
(By: Jeff Beach . North Dakota Monitor) – North Dakota’s struggling dairy industry could get a boost from a new milk processing plant and state incentives for more processing.
As North Dakota House Agriculture Committee members heard testimony last week in favor of incentives to add milk processing to the state, one committee member said his family plans to add a processing plant.
Rep. Dawson Holle, R-Mandan, is part of a dairy farming family in Morton County. He said the farm has the goal of breaking ground on a processing plant in June, though the project still is in the planning stages.
Holle announced his plans during discussion of Senate Bill 2342, which would provide a grant of 5% of the cost of opening a milk processing plant, up to a maximum of $10 million.

Two Million Dollars of Redeposits Now Tied Up By Garnishments
Bismarck, N.D., March 15.—The $1,000,000 loan obtained by the Bank of North Dakota from the Merchants’ Loan and Trust company of Chicago, was paid today with interest amounting to about $14,000, according to A. Johannsen, director of audits of the state bank.
An official of the Chicago bank has been in the city during the last few days, it is understood.
In the meantime, more than $2,000,000 of the redeposits placed by the Bank of North Dakota in private banks in various parts of the state are tied up by garnishment proceedings. There have been 22 suits of this kind instituted, most of them by counties, but in some cases by towns and school districts. No new cases have been started since the decision of the supreme court holding garnishments legal.
Officials of the Bank of North Dakota today claimed that many counties were continuing to do business with the state institution.
It was learned today, however, that many counties which have deposited funds in the Bank of North Dakota, which they are unable to withdraw, have been making tax returns to the state treasurer with checks on that bank. By this method, there is no actual increase in the amount of funds in the bank, and the amounts which the Bank of North Dakota will receive this spring will be materially lessened in this way.
Tax collections thus far have not been as heavy as had been anticipated by the state treasurer.
Bank of North Dakota Excluded
The city of Bismarck has taken action under the depositary law passed by the recent session of the state legislature, naming all state and national banks in the city as depositaries of the city funds, with the single exception of the Bank of North Dakota. Hereafter, the city will deposit all funds in the local banks.
A basket social and program will be held this evening in the Driscoll school, northeast of East Grand Forks. An interesting entertainment has been prepared by the pupils, and other attractive diversions have been arranged. All interested are cordially invited to attend. Ladies are requested to bring baskets.
The Grand Marais Farmers’ Club will give a dance Thursday evening in their hall. A three-piece orchestra will furnish the music, and everybody is invited to attend.
Frank Austin and William and Jack Chalmers of Huntsville were business visitors in the city yesterday.
Arthur Fillion of Minnesota Point was taken to St. Michael’s Hospital in Grand Forks yesterday. Mr. Fillion has been ill for a week, and it finally became necessary to remove him to the hospital.
