Woodworth farmer blocks cattle over pasture lease dispute
In Woodworth North Dakota a local farmer blocked access to 4000 acres of pasture after a dispute over unpaid lease with Dennis Tidman of Eldora Iowa. About 1000 head of steers were moved to Iowa in two trips while negotiations with District Court Judge M C Fredricks stalled. A temporary agreement allowed 600 head to depart and back rent was paid. Willard Burke, Tidman’s cattle buyer, plans a suit after markets open. The farm lies 18 miles southwest of Woodworth.
