If they could they can send all that they want to to SE Texas because it is drier than a popcorn fnart down here. Driest I have seen it in 25 years.
Amazing, almost everything looks new or near new in those photos. Must have singled out an area because I don’t recall it being that prosperous up there. Ethanol must be great for farming.
Ethanol nothing, there’s an oil boom on up here. (Bakken, Three Forks). (Grain prices are way up, too.) People are either leasing their minerals and/or getting royalties, working in the patch or in any service sector job, etc. For now, anyway, things are good (Thank God).
Ethanol must be great for farming.
You should take that back.
Ethanol farmers drive new trucks and Corvettes. I know some.
Shows how well informed you are. North Dakota is the most prosperous State right now because of OIL that is being developed over there. I hope this flood doesn’t destroy those oil fields. Besides all the farmland in the West...8 times the average snowfall here in Montana which hasn’t even started to melt yet, but when it does, the Missouri River will carry it...No crops this summer much of anywhere. And lots of flyover country Americans out of their homes. Where I am in the middle of Montana there have already been huge floods and I may be the only one in my neighborhood who hasn’t suffered water damage yet. We don’t know if we can get groceries here next week because all the roads are washed out. Look up ROUNDUP, MT and Lewistown MT flooding to see what is happening here already.

This is wheat and cow country, no ethanol here, but this flooding is from rainfall, not snow melt. It’s been too cold for snowmelt yet. Go stock up on meat and grains.

North Dakota economy booms, population soars
North Dakota is enjoying an oil boom in the western part of the state, drawing workers from across the country. Williston, in oil country, grew 17.6% to 14,716. The oil windfall has created a $1 billion state budget surplus.
