North Dakota Farm Bureau accepting applications for scholarships
BISMARCK— North Dakota Farm Bureau has announced the availability of several $1,000 scholarships for high school students, undergraduates and those pursuing studies in agriculture.
NDFB will be granting scholarships in five categories, including a scholarship for college students pursuing an agriculture-related degree, an NDFB family member scholarship, one for high school seniors who will be enrolled in any ag-related post-secondary school, and the Becki Palmer Scholarship which recognizes academic achievement as well as leadership skills of high school seniors.
The newest scholarship is available for high school seniors. The NDFB Student Volunteer Scholarship is for $2,500 and will be granted to a student who volunteers time to serve the community.
These scholarships are made possible through contributions received by the NDFB Foundation. A significant portion of the funds for this year’s scholarships was generated through a live auction held at the NDFB Annual Meeting in November, where over $18,000 was raised.
Interested candidates can visit the Promotion and Education scholarship page at
www.ndfb.org/edusafe/scholarships
to apply for the scholarships. The deadline for applications is March 1, 2024.
Tax-deductible donations can be sent to the NDFB Foundation at PO Box 2064, Fargo, ND 58107 for those interested in contributing to the scholarship fund. Specify the gift is intended for the scholarship fund.

For North Dakota producers, ‘death by a thousand paper cuts’
BISMARCK — North Dakota is experiencing losses on nearly every commodity outside of beef and cattle and the state is working toward finding solutions to the ongoing loss of cropland value. At the same time, costs have increased at a faster rate than farmers are used to. North Dakota Agriculture Commissioner Doug Goehring describes it as “death by a thousand paper cuts.”
“It’s not any one thing that’s taking farmers to their knees,” he said. “I needed to get a certain sensor in the fuel pump and that fall before COVID, we were coming out of a kind of a tough year and it was $1,700. I said, ‘Let’s just wait and put it in next spring.’ Well, next spring came around and it was $3,200. I mean, holy cow. And nothing changed. So, there just seems to be some opportunistic type of practices going on.”
Rules and regulations don’t seem to be helping. For Goehring, a look at certain regulations would be a good step. One example is the Regional Haze Rule adopted by the EPA in 1999, mandating that states develop and implement air quality protection plans to reduce the pollution that causes visibility impairment. North Dakota, with a clean coal emission in place and operating at 19 parts per million, was disadvantaged.
“You had air emission standards in Pennsylvania that were operating at 200. Then the memorandum came from the administration and EPA that you had to cut those emissions in half. How the heck do you cut 19 or 18 parts per million in half?” he said.
American culture has brought more hurdles, too.
Tom Campbell, USDA state director for Rural Development, notes the rise of GLP-1 drugs. People are eating less sugar, bread and starches, which could be hitting some key sectors regionally. Combined with rising expenses and fixed costs, it becomes a “double whammy.”
“You have to harvest everything, and hopefully we can get some big yields to offset some of the losses,” Campbell said, noting that weight-loss drugs may be “changing habits” among consumers.
“… I don’t know if it’s for sure or not, but we’re concerned about the future there, too.”
A bright spot for the region, but an unfortunate development for others, is drought in the Pacific Northwest. Low moisture levels there have added dollars to other markets.
“Unfortunately, somebody else’s disaster is our benefit. But, usually, that’s what it takes: somebody else’s problems to fix our problems,” Campbell said.
With prices, it’s a waiting game. High prices are generally thought to correct themselves with low demand. What can be controlled, Goehring believes, is the way rules and regulations are considered.
Measurable outcomes could give detailed accounts of the domino effect that takes place with either implementing regulations or taking them away.
“There has to be some measurable difference on a basis at which the public can derive some value from a rule or regulation that goes in place. Because every one of them is impacting our daily lives, whether it’s at home, on the road or in our businesses,” Goehring said.

One year later, tornado survivors rebuild and remember
FARGO — For the last year, as the Pfaff family has rebuilt, they’ve lived with the constant reminder of their devastating loss as they look across their property, while also picking up the pieces of their own home, which was also left in ruins after the June 20, 2025, tornado rolled through.
Sounds of rebuilding and recovery, not just a home, but lives that were very literally torn apart.
