The MonDak has always stood out as an agricultural area, which is the prime reason many of us chose to make this region our home. We liked the farming way of life and preferred the peace of the country to the bustle of commercial centers. Well, our cherished way of life has practically vanished as agriculture and its lifestyle has had to move aside for the oil industry. The oil boom continues to trump agriculture in numerous ways and many area farmers feel that in the coming years, agriculture i...
Every issue has its positives and negatives. Oil has changed the face of the MonDak region forever, it has caused serious problems with housing, infrastructure, the ability of natives to conduct daily business, and it has forced people to rethink individual values and priorities. For those farmers without mineral rights, farming only gets more and more difficult as input costs soar and the available land becomes increasingly more expensive to buy or to rent. However, those farmers who do have...

With the controversies regarding pipelines, railroads are laying...

The oil industry activity in the MonDak region increased in 2011 more than anyone ever imagined. The recent activity being called a boom had everyone skeptical, but the refinement of horizontal drilling combined with hydraulic fracturing, called fracking, has made this boom possible. During the current boom the workers have come ahead of the infrastructure and the region is scrambling to accommodate but sometimes with hesitancy. Many remember the region’s last boom 30 years ago. When crude p...
Land usage changes through the years. The small patch of ground located along the highway south of the Dore elevator served as a sugarbeet pile grounds for many years until sugar factory officials closed it in 1996. During that time, residents saw a lot of heavy truck traffic in and out of the pile grounds during harvest. Today, that same piece of ground now stores tanker rail cars for the movement of crude oil and residents see a tremendous amount of truck traffic all year long, not just during...
