John Crabtree, Lyons, Neb., letter: Senate’s new farm bill snubs rural America

OUR OPINION: Farm bill also helps fight floods
Besides the diversion, another big project also is in the works. And it’s one that would help protect not only Fargo-Moorhead, but also Grand Forks-East Grand Forks and every other community in the Red River Valley.

OUR OPINION: A CRP of North Dakota's own
The Conservation Reserve Program has proved its worth time and time again. North Dakota has derived tremendous benefits from it — enough so that the program should be kept strong, even if some of the federal funding falls through.

A new proposal to place a hard cap on farm payments to individual farmers has the strong endorsement of the president of one of North Dakota’s two largest farm groups.

ALWAYS IN SEASON: Let’s act now to be optimistic in the future
It’s hard to be a pessimist in springtime. All of nature seems to be welcoming another year. This week, red-winged blackbirds reappeared in the wetland near our place west of Gilby, N.D. I’m confident that I’ll see these birds every day until late fall.

Minnesota congressman says U.S. sugar program likely to be continued
Rep. Collin Peterson, D-Minn., said Wednesday that he is optimistic the U.S. sugar program will be continued in the next farm bill, but he said he is unsure when — or if — a proposed $1.78 billion Red River diversion to protect Fargo and Moorhead during flooding can be built given the current “fiscal environment.”

HSUS deal means Congress dictates size of chicken cages
Amon Baer has one thing to say about amendments to the 2012 farm bill where Congress would dictate exactly — to the square inch — how big his egg laying cages must be. It is part of a deal brokered by the United Egg Producers leaders and the Humane Society of the United States, ostensibly to prevent state-by-state laws that undermine the egg industry. “Kill it,” Baer says of the proposed law.
