The road to recovery will be long for North Dakota farmers and ranchers affected by the fires this fall. “As dry as it is there is still that fire danger of something reigniting,” says Julie Ellingson, executive vice president, North Dakota Stockmen’s Association. “So there’s that worry and stress still out there.” Ellingson says it will be a while before anyone knows exactly how much loss and impact there will be. For recovery resources or to donate to the Out of the Ashes fire relief program you can visit the North Dakota Stockmen’s Association website.
