After the rain event a couple weekends ago, I was visiting with a number of ag lenders Until next time, from both member banks and non-member Barry banks. One gentleman made the comment that there were significant challenges getting equipment TO the fields, much less getting IN the fields as several roads were washed out in that particular market area.

Whereas checks and cash were the dominant payments instruments 40 years ago, today digital payments are becoming an increasingly popular way to pay, and a driving force in the evolution of the relationship between customers and their banks. An estimated 2.1 billion consumers will have used a digital wallet by the end of 2019—up 30 percent from 2017¹. As such, community bankers should fully understand digital payments and the role they play in maintaining and growing your customers by continuing to meet and exceed their expectations. What are Digital Payments? “Digital payments” is an umbrella term to describe payments that are made using electronic instruments, such as mobile devices or laptops. Put simply, digital payments are transactions that are initiated without the use of a physical card or paper currency. Using this definition, digital payments can include: • online banking payments; • ACH/Same-Day ACH; • digital currency/cryptocurrency; • payments made with a digital wallet, e.g. Apple Pay, Google Pay (wherein the funding mechanism may be a physical debit or credit card, but it’s stored in a digital wallet environment); • payments made through digital apps, e.g. Zelle, Venmo, PayPal, Cash App (by Square) (wherein the funding mechanism may be a physical debit or credit card, but it’s stored in a digital app environment); and, real-time payments. Digital Payments Use Cases and Benefits Digital payments provide a host of opportunities for community banks to provide additional value to customers. With the introduction and growth of faster payments, digital payments opportunities and use cases have grown too. From personal to business clients, digital payments can provide convenience and efficiency while enhancing your overall position and value proposition. Following are a few examples of digital payments opportunities.

  • CEO Salaries Were on the Rise. Then Came COVID-19
    September 9, 2020 Volume 16, Number 34 CEO salaries were on the rise. Then came COVID-19. The agriculture industry was able to wrap up its annual early-year blitz of meetings and conventions before the onset of the coronavirus led to months-long event cancellations, but with next year’s crop of meetings in jeopardy, organizations are taking a nervous look at their balance sheets — including what they pay their CEOs. “A key driver for a lot of organizations is going to be how are they now going to measure success?” asked Bob Skelton, the chief administrative officer at the American Society of Association Executives. Financial indicators have been an easy metric to follow in recent years; an organization with good cash flow generally means a CEO receives a healthy bonus or raise. In fact, Skelton said a 5% bump in pay had become standard for association executives across many different sectors. Now, with the lost revenue of canceled events, one area where there might be some savings is in payroll, specifically in the compensation of their top executives. The numbers reported in this year’s Agri-Pulse CEO salary report just might represent a peak of sorts, and the financial hit of COVID-19 could deal a blow to organizations that will require years of recovery. “The whole landscape right now is murky, and there’s going to be changes,” Skelton said. “We’re not going to know all the details about those changes for another year, but things are definitely going to look different.” www.Agri-Pulse.com 1 But prior to COVID-19, CEO salaries were on a predictable upward trajectory.

Doug Goehring, Commissioner Contents A Message from the Commissioner ii Mission Statement iii Organizational Chart iv Administration 1 The 2011-13 Biennium: A Timeline 4 Administrative Services 21 Marketing & Information 23 Animal Health 26 Livestock Services 29 Pesticide & Fertilizer 32 Plant Industries 34 State Fair 37 Funding & Expenditures 38 A Message from the Commissioner My Fellow North Dakotans, All North Dakota can take pride in the achievements and contributions of the state’s 31,000 family farm- ers and ranchers, who have maintained their reputation as some of the best producers in the world. Their efforts have made our state the national leader in more than a dozen important commodities, including spring wheat, durum, barley, sunflowers, canola, dry edible peas and beans, oats, flax, honey and more. North Dakota is now among the top 10 corn and soybean producing states. They have done this despite less than optimal growing conditions. Too much moisture in some parts of the state and severe drought in others significantly reduced yields for many producers and prevented the planting of hundreds of thousands of acres. Plant diseases, insects and other plant pests caused further losses. Yet our farmers and ranchers continued to provide safe and abundant food, fiber and fuel for our state, our nation and the world. The staff of the North Dakota Department of Agriculture is proud to have helped our producers meet these challenges. The Pesticide and Fertilizer Division obtained federal registrations and exemptions to get producers the pesticides needed to protect crops and livestock.

    2013 SENATE AGRICULTURE SB 2146 SENATE STANDING COMMITTEE MINUTES 2013 Senate Agriculture Committee Roosev�lt Park Room, State Capitol SB 2146 January 24, 2013 17702 0 Conference Committee SB 2146 will establish an assessment on grapes, create an advisory committee, and provide an appropriation. II Wiritten testimony Minutes: Chairman Miller opened the hearing on SB 2146. All committee members were present. Paul Anderson, President North Dakota Grape and Wine Association (NDGWA) testified in support of SB 2146. He highlighted the need for continuing funding for grape and wine research for the state. He said that they have an ongoing research and development program at NDSU that was funded by the 61st legislative session. They need additional funds to continue this research. In addition to research they need funding for Education and Marketing. The appropriation is for $300,000 for research and development and $50,000 for education and marketing. Written testimony #1 Senator Miller asked him to talk about how the assessment was going to work. Paul Anderson said that the assessment is for one cent per pound on North Dakota grown grapes used by North Oakota wineries. The grapes would come into the winery and they would keep track of the pounds of grapes that they received and pay the one cent per pound. Senator Klein commented that in the fiscal note it shows that the assessment raises an estimate of $3700. He stated that what they like to see is some skin in the game (financial commitment). He asked if there would be an effort by the producers to get this little bit of skin and get it to the state.
