Farmers feel the squeeze
from A Closer Look with the Monitor · host Craig Blumenshine
North Dakota farmers are heading into harvest season facing another major expense – record high diesel prices. Diesel has climbed above $6 a gallon in parts of the state, roughly double what some farmers paid last fall. Monitor Deputy Editor Jeff Beach joins host Craig Blumenshine to discuss the impact of the high prices on North Dakota producers. Also, Monitor reporter Michael Achterling talks about his recent reporting on a new tribal law enforcement program in North Dakota that gives recruits a basic training option much closer to home. A Closer Look with the Monitor is a partnership with Prairie Public's Main Street.
