An important date and surely a historic one to boot. It all started when many people said they wanted to be president. through many tough and difficult caucuses and primaries. The Republicans were the first to decide thier party’s nomination, who was John McCain(R). Then it was left up to one of the most painful Democratic pick in the history of GOPs. The final led to a Barack Obama(D) win. With these two were picked, they then toured to country trying to wrap up some votes.Then they had to choose thier running mate. The Democratic VP is Joe Biden(D), and the Republican VP is Sarah Palin(R). There soon after the national conventions were held. Now the Presidential hopefuls are out runing around to debates, interviews, etc. And Now it is up to you. Here is a mini poll for the area just to see who likes who in the area.

As I sit here thinking about this.  I realize that it takes a lot for a town to truly be a community.  It runs much deeper than a place to live.  My grandmother explained to me when I was younger that it takes more to make a house a home.  This is how I look at the community of Sheyenne, ND.  I had an opportunity to move to this community in 1999, moved away in 2006 for Arizona and returned in 2007.  In the year away from Sheyenne, ND, I realized many things.  It wasn’t just returning home to my immediate family, but something much deeper.  The people here are far from anything that I had experienced in Arizona.  It doesn’t matter where, who or what you are, there is always a friendly hello, a warm hand shake or hug that says you matter.  Many times I have seen these acts of kindness displayed by the Sheyenne Community.  The people are always there to help one another through personnal deeds or as a community.  It maybe something as little as being there to talk and listen/a hand on the shoulder, providing someone with transportation/a meal or as big as putting on a benefit/community development.  It is not just one person, but instead the community that comes together. 

SHEYENNE, ND is truly more than a town, IT IS A COMMUNITY.

These people had a dream and motivation to make a reality come true. That dream and reality of that elevator are still in existence.

The Equity elevator is now expanding and growing under the leadership of John Rick, the elevator’s manager. John, the Board, and the employees are working hard and diligently to improve the elevator for the town and for it’s patrons. The other day, I had the chance to speak with John about the elevator expansion.

In 2007, the co op tore down three large, concrete tanks to make room for the larger, steel tanks which hold about an extra 10,500 bushels for storage. On the south side of the elevator the new construction consist of a grain dryer to enhance the customer service. They are also constructing three new steel bins with a capacity of 200,000 bushels of grain. “The added storage will be a great benefit to our patrons in the future.”John said.

The Board consists of farmers in the Sheyenne - Oberon area.

Dan Birkeland - President

Neal Rud - Vice President

Doug Schmid - Secretary

Kent Myhre - Member

Todd Buehler - Member

Stuart Johnson - Member

Greg Rue - Member

We commend these people for their hard work and dedication.

The Elevator is a full service elevator dedicated to it’s patrons. If you are interested, they have set up a website, www.sheyenneequity.com. This has information on commodity prices and all of their services. You can also contact them via e-mail, coop218@gondtc.com.

This elevator has taken a chance and has proven once again that when we all work together a lot can be accomplished. As John Rick says, “We plan to be here for a long time.” Now THAT is some North Dakota spirit!

In the past five years we have done numerous benefits for the people who can’t afford medical bills or just need some financial help. In the past five years, with the help of Thrivent Financial for Lutherans, we have raised approx. $27,000! Wow. That is a pretty big number. We would like to thank all who have helped with the benefits; from the volunteers, to Thrivent Financial for Lutherans. We appreciate your help!
