How To Support Williston Basin United Way This September

Mark your calendars and grab your appetite! The Williston Rural Fire Protection District is firing up the grill for a good cause! On September 15, 2025, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., the fire crew is trading in hoses for hot dogs and burgers, all to benefit the Williston Basin United Way.

BBQ, Chips & Drinks, All for a Great Cause (and Just $10!)

For a suggested donation of $10 per meal, you’ll get a sizzling burger or brat, a side of crispy chips, and a refreshing drink to wash it down. Not bad for a weekday lunch that also helps strengthen the community.

And if you’ve got a whole office full of hungry coworkers? No problem. Williston delivery (in town) is available for orders of five or more. That’s right, lunch comes to you, no sirens required. Organizers ask to pre-order before September 15.

Feeding the Nation: A Look at North Dakota’s Most Valuable Crops

Farming is the backbone of America—98% of the nation’s 2 million farms are family-run, feeding an average of 166 people each year. Though agriculture makes up just 1% of the U.S. economy, it’s rich in tradition and diversity, with more African American, Hispanic, and Latino farmers than ever before. One in four are new to the field, and many have served in the military.

In 2022, U.S. farm exports hit a record $191 billion. According to Stacker, here’s how North Dakota’s top crops ranked by value—and why the Peace Garden State punches above its weight in feeding the world.
