ALLEGIANT FLIGHTS TO LAS VEGAS HAVE RETURNED THIS MONTH OUT OF GRAND FORKS INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT. THOSE WERE SUSPENDED BACK IN THE SPRING. THERE IS AN EXPECTED ANNOUNCEMENT THAT MESA, ARIZONA ROUTES WILL RETURN IN NOVEMBER AND ORLANDO ROUTES WOULD RETURN IN FEBRUARY. GRAND FORKS MAYOR BRANDON BOCHENSKI SAID THIS IS GREAT NEWS BUT THAT, “IT’S STILL NOT THE BIG NUGGET; THE BIG NUGGET STILL IS GETTING ANOTHER MAJOR CARRIER HERE ON THOSE DAILY, CONTINUOUS ROUTES,” HE SAID. “THAT’S REALLY WHAT’S GOING TO OPEN UP TRAVEL FOR EVERYBODY AND KEEP PEOPLE FROM LEAVING GRAND FORKS AND GOING TO OTHER AIRPORTS FOR AIR SERVICE.”
DUE TO THE GOOD YIELD POTENTIAL IN SOME AREAS OF THE UPPER MIDWEST, THE NUMBER OF CORN AND SOYBEAN PRODUCERS THAT QUALIFY FOR 2026 CROP INSURANCE INDEMNITY PAYMENTS MAY BE LIMITED. HOWEVER, IN OTHER PORTIONS OF THE REGION THAT ARE DEALING WITH SEVERE OR EXTREME DROUGHT, OR HAVE DEALT WITH EXCESSIVE RAINFALL AND SEVERE STORMS, CROP INSURANCE PAYMENTS MAY BE MORE PREVALENT.
DUE TO LIKELY HIGHER FALL HARVEST PRICES FOR CORN AND SOYBEANS, COMPARED TO THE SPRING BASE PRICES, ANY 2026 CROP INSURANCE INDEMNITY PAYMENTS WILL LIKELY BE SOLELY BASED ON REDUCTIONS IN CROP YIELD, RATHER THAN ON A COMBINATION OF YIELD REDUCTION AND PRICE DECLINE.
THE ESTABLISHED CROP INSURANCE BASE PRICES FOR 2026 YP AND RP CROP INSURANCE POLICIES ARE $4.62 PER BUSHEL FOR CORN AND $11.09 PER BUSHEL FOR SOYBEANS.
