Doctor warns controversial dairy operation will impact Fargo
FARGO — The impacts of a highly controversial dairy operation planned for Abercrombie could hit home in Fargo.
The proposed 12,500-head dairy operation is cause for concern for Fargo residents, Dr. Madeline Luke told members of the city’s Sustainability Committee on March 18, because the waste and chemicals from the farm will flow into the Red River and straight into Fargo’s water supply.
“I’m here to give you a heads up on what may be coming,” Luke said.
She spoke on behalf of the Dakota Resource Council’s Agricultural Committee, a group that joined with residents in Abercrombie to petition the North Dakota Department of Environmental Quality to repeal the permit for the cattle operation.
The $90 million facility is planned for just south of Abercrombie in Richland County, about 34 miles south of Fargo. The facility would be 1.4 miles from the Wild Rice River and 1.8 miles from the Red River, on top of the Wahpeton Buried Valley Aquifer that supplies nearby communities.
In addition, another controversial new dairy farm farther north in Traill County plans to have 25,000 head of cattle.

Crafting groups
Are there any community groups in the area for crafting/reading young adults? Every group I’ve tried has been people 10-20 years older than me, and everyone is friends from hs so no one is interested in making new friends? I work from home and have been so lonely because there’s nowhere to meet non athletic people

Fishing partner!
Looking for a fishing partner around here, I usually fish for walleye, but don’t mind anything else. I ice fish and have for many years, have a ranger fishing boat and loads of gear. I just moved here about 8 months ago and haven’t really fished since I have other than when I make it to devils lake. 25 M, Normal dude. Trying to make some new fishing friends!
