Farm Rescue receives support
for livestock feeding assistance
Farm Rescue, a nonprofit organi-
zation that provides planting, har-
vesting, haying and hay hauling
assistance free of charge to farm and
ranch families who have experienced
a major illness, injury or natural dis-
aster, recently expanded its services
to ranchers with the addition of live-
stock feeding assistance.
This new endeavor is made pos-
sible through the work of volunteers,
as well as the support of business
sponsors. One such business has
been a strong supporter since Farm
Rescue started assistance operations
in 2006. Haybuster (a division of
DuraTech Industries) of Jamestown,
is a family-owned manufacturer, spe-
cializing in hay processing and han-
dling equipment, as well as other
agricultural and industrial products.
The North Dakota-based company
has provided financial support to
Farm Rescue for more than a decade
and is now expanding its sponsorship
of the nonprofit organization with a
donation of equipment to aid in live-
stock feeding efforts.
Haybuster's contribution of a
Balebuster bale processor and CMF-
series vertical mixer will provide
support to Farm Rescue volunteers,
as they carry out livestock feeding
duties for ranchers affected by crisis.
This assistance will be available
throughout Farm Rescue's entire
service area, which includes the
states of North Dakota, South
Dakota, Minnesota, Iowa, Nebraska
and eastern Montana.
Good grazing

Insurance
Department
recovers $5.5
million for
beneficiaries
BISMARCK - Insurance Com-
missioner Jon Godfread on Dec. 20 '
said the North Dakota Insurance De- '
partment recovered more than $5.5'
million for North Dakota life insur-
ance beneficiaries through the exam- '
ination of 30 top life insurers' use of'
the social Security Administration's '
Death Master File (DMF).
The DMF is a comprehensive list
of people who have died in the U.S.
The examinations found that most
life insurance companies have un-
fairly used the DMF in the past to'
search for and stop payments to de- :
ceased annuity holders but have not
used the database to identify de-
ceased life insurance policyholders'
to pay beneficiaries. Of the 30 ex-
aminations, 28 have resulted in set-
tlements and changes to beneficiary'
search practices which prohibit corn- ~
panics from conducting the unfair"
searches.
"This is a huge victory for North'
Dakota consumers," Godfread said'
in a prepared statement. "Searching'
for and locating life insurance bone
ficiaries is a critical part of this busi-
ness. The d epartment is committed,
to working together with other states-
to continue investigating insurance"
companies' use of the Death Master-
File because with the tools available
to insurance companies today, there
is no reason for them not to search
for and locate policy beneficiaries."
