(North Dakota Monitor) – The Bank of North Dakota is working on a new loan assistance program for farmers in response to tough financial conditions facing the industry.
Don Morgan, president of the state-owned Bank of North Dakota, said the state’s agricultural industry has been hit hard by a combination of low commodity prices, a sustained period of high interest rates and inflation.
