| The Board was created to provide assistance to financially distressed farmers. The Board mediates problems between farmers, lenders, and others, establishes policy for the North Dakota Agricultural Mediation Service, coordinates the North Dakota State University Agriculture Extension Service, and makes recommendations to the Board for Vocational and Technical Education about the Adult Farm Management Program.
The membership must include: two members with experience as a director of a financial institution (one appointed by the governor, one by the attorney general); four members with experience in farming operations (one appointed by the governor; one appointed by the attorney general; and two are appointed by the commissioner of agriculture). No member of the board may hold state office or serve in state office or serve in state government in any capacity at any time of appointment or during service on the Board. |
