The Beach Buccaneer football
team extended its 2019 season last
week with a playoff win over Central
McClean.
The Bucs were only one of three
road teams to win a playoff game in
the opening-round of the nine-man
playoffs. In what turned into a low-
scoring struggle, the Bucs managed
to leave Underwood with a gritty and
hard-fought 8-0 victory.
Both teams were forced to deal
With a stiff wind throughout the
game, limiting their options on of-
fense.
The Cougars had an opportunity
to grab an early advantage, but the
Bucs defense came up with four crit-
ical stops at the goal line. Despite
coming early in the game, the stand
proved critical to the final outcome.
"We did a really good job upfront
and the stand in the first quarter
ended up being really big for us,"
Head Coach Mike Zier said.
Neither team cracked the score-
board in the first half, but the Bucs fi-
nally found the endzone in the third
quarter. Senior Gage Swanson came
up with the lone score of the game,
cracking the goal line with a rushing
touchdown. Swanson added the two-

Help available for those
dealing with flood-related stress
BISMARCK, N.D. - With ex-
tremely wet conditions, localized
flooding and an early snowstorm im-
pacting farmers, ranchers and many
other individuals and communities
across North Dakota, Gov. Doug Bur-
gum and Agriculture Commissioner
Doug Goehring continue to work to
.offer the state's full support, pursue all
2federal assistance options and en-
i courage friends and neighbors to
:reach out to each other.
"The economic impacts and stress
:from this unprecedented fall flooding
situation are serious and real," Bur-
;gum sai& "North Dakotans histori-
i cally have come together to help each
other in times of crisis, and we en-
courage individuals to accept help if
they're struggling with stress, or reach
out to others if they see them strug-
gling emotionally."
Goehring reminded producers that
they shouldn't face difficult times
alone. "Many times farmers and
ranchers feel they should be able to
manage any problems on their own,
but these factors are beyond your con-
trol," he said. "The emotional stress
can be intense and producers need a
support structure. If you know some-
one who is struggling, please be there
for them and help them reach out for
professional help if needed."
The North Dakota Department of
Human Services' Behavioral Health
team encourages neighbors to help
one another. If someone you know is
struggling, you can make the differ-
ence. More information is available
on a new webpage at www.behav-
ioralhealth.nd.gov/prevention/suicide,
including how to talk with and sup-
port someone under stress and at risk,
warning signs, action steps, and links
to connect with behavioral health
services in the state, as well as other
resources. It is important to take care
of yourself while supporting others by
getting enough rest, eating healthy
and connecting with othex:s.
"If you know someone who is
struggling emotionally or having a
hard time, you can be the difference
in getting them the help they need,"
said Pamela Sagness, director of the
Behavioral Health Division. "There
are five steps everyone can take: ask,
keep them safe, be there, help them
connect, and follow up."
Sagness stressed that if someone
is really struggling, talking about feel-
ing hopeless, withdrawing, behaving
differently than usual, or showing
other warning signs they may be
thinking of suicide, be direct. Talk
with them and help them find help.
Call the Suicide Prevention Lifeline
at 1-800-273-8255.
Individuals affected by flooding
and adverse conditions can find infor-
mation on other farm and ranch assis-
tance at www.NDResponse.gov.
To date, 18 North DakOta counties
have declared emergencies related to
flooding or the blizzard: Barnes, Cass,
Cavalier, Dickey, Grand Forks, Fos-
ter, Griggs, Kidder, LaMoure, Mcln-
tosh, Nelson, Richland, Rolette,
"North Dakotans
historically have
come together to
help each other in
times of crisis, and
we encourage indi-
viduals to accept
help if they're
struggling with
stress, or reach out
to others if they see
them struggling
emotionally."
Gov. Doug Burgum
Steele, Stutsman, Traill, Walsh and
Wells. The cities of Grand Forks,
Jamestown, LaMoure and Valley City
also have declared emergencies. On
Monday, Burgum'signed an executive
order declaring a statewide flood
emergency, a critical step in request-
ing federal disaster declarations to
help North Dakotans deal with im-
pacts caused by heavy fall rains and a
historic October blizzard.
In separate phone calls Wednesday
and Thursday, Goehring and Burgum
both urged U.S. Department of Agri-
culture Under Secretary Bill Northey
to release the next round of Market
Facilitation Program assistance, due
out in November, as soon as possible.
The state also is compiling impacts
from the October snowstorm to sup-
port a request for a USDA secretarial
disaster designation. Producers are
encouraged to contact their local
USDA Farm Service Agency office to
discuss eligibility for the Wildfire and
Hurricane Indemnity Plus Program
(WHIP+), the Livestock Indemnity
Program, the Emergency Livestock
Assistance Program or other federal
assistance.
As a direct result of feedback Bur-
gum and Goehring received during
Monday's community flood meetings,
the North Dakota Department of
Transportation (NDDOT) today ex-
tended the deadline for removing hay
bales from highway rights 6f way by
two weeks, to Nov. 15, because of the
statewide flood emergency. Hay bales
remaining on rights of way after Nov.
15 will be removed as directed by the
NDDOT district engineer. The bales
need to be removed for snow man-
agement and safety reasons, but many
are currently stranded in water-filled
ditches.
Goehring noted the Hay Hotline
also is still available for those need-
ing more hay or needing hay trans-
ported. "We recognize it's been tough
to put forage up and get it hauled this
year," he said.
The Hay Hotline may be reached
at 701-425-8454. A self-service Hay
Hotline map is also available at

The North Dakota Wheat Com-
mission recently released the results
of its annual crop quality reports. The
organization has been conducting
harvest surveys for more than 60
years, and the data gathered is used
for publishing regional reports and
the U.S. Wheat Associates overall re-
port which covers all six classes of
wheat produced in the nation.
The data is also used in overseas
and domestic marketing seminars
and outreach with customers.
The annual harvest survey repre-
sents hard red spring wheat produced
in North Dakota, Montana, Min-
nesota, South Dakota and the Pacific
Northwest, and durum produced in
North Dakota and Montana.
During harvest, state wheat

collection goals for the surveys.
"This fall has been the most chal-
lenging collection period in recent
memory," he said. "We have goals of
how many samples we want to col-
lect each week. With the weather,
getting predictable, steady samples
was difficult, but we're confident the
survey is a fair representation of what
will make it to the commercial mar-
ket."
Peterson says getting accurate re-
sults is important since customers
that buy North Dakota wheat rely on
and durum samples and ships them to
North Dakota State University to be
analyzed for kernel quality and end-
use properties.
Samples are combined according
to specific regions and protein levels,
and the combined samples (compos-
ites) are milled into semolina or flour,
and analyzed for bread and pasta
qualities.
NDWC Policy and Marketing Di-
rector Jim Peterson says this fall's in-
clement weather has challenged
producers and strained the optimum
the data from the surveys to deter-
mine purchasing strategies for the
following year.
"Our job is to represent the crop
to help optimize the strengths our
wheat has over competitors and help
our customers manage year-to-year
changes in end-use performance," he
said. "We don't try to hide things,
and customers really find value in our
surveys because they trust they're the
most accurate representation of the
crop. This year's crop was diverse
and extreme in some issues, so our
data will be vital to customers that
need to adjust their strategies to ac-
commodate for variances in crop
quality."
