North Dakota Agriculture Commissioner Doug Goehring recently presented Billie Carik of Cavalier Public School with the third place prize in this years Pride of Dakota Essay Contest. Students from Bismarck, Fargo, Halliday, Minot and Scranton were also winners. The theme of this year’s contest was “North Dakota Agriculture: Growing for You and Me." Goehring says the essays and posters clearly demonstrated the understanding the students had of the importance of farming and ranching. He said at a Tuesday news conference that he was very impressed both by the students knowledge and their skill in communicating it. The winners received monetary awards from the North Dakota Bankers Association. The Pride of Dakota program fosters the development and growth of small businesses and especially businesses that are farm-based or rely on agricultural commodities. More than 500 companies are Pride of Dakota members.
