OUR OPINION: A catalyst for American Crystal's contract
It’s called a “reopener.” It’s a tool in labor negotiations for breaking stubborn deadlocks. And it just might work in the American Crystal Sugar case, because Crystal’s circumstances seem tailor-made for what a reopener can provide. Here’s how.

RYAN BAKKEN: And now, for the CliffNotes of news ....
For column ideas, my first stop is the newspaper. Sometimes, an idea is abandoned because it will take more space than what is allotted. More often, the reverse is true. I usually don’t have enough fodder on any one topic. I’m the CliffNotes of columnists.

Scott Ripplinger, Manvel, N.D., letter: Farmers must stop ignoring union’s role
Judging by farmer’s email, it appears he and other beet farmers have not researched the differences between the union and the company’s proposals. I suggest they do so before they lose their farms betting on CEO Berg’s strategies.

Russell Dawes, Niagara, N.D., letter: ‘Cadillac’ farmers want ‘Yugo’ workers
If I were a beet grower, I’d be ashamed to pay a chief executive officer $2 million to crush the workers over a 25- to 50-cents-an-hour raise. What part of a ton of beets would it take to give the worker a decent wage? Very few beets.
