In the Meigh border region experts link illegal animal movement to Northern Ireland’s first foot and mouth outbreak, warning cross border livestock trafficking fuels disease spread. Authorities report cases across the province with concerns of wider spread to the Republic and intensified smuggling tied to currency differentials and EU subsidies. A hot line urges farmers to report suspicious activity while official bans on livestock movement hobble the trade.

North Dakota farmer bets on soybeans surge
Matt Mechtel, near Page, shifts from wheat to soybeans, planning about 5 000 acres this season up from 1 700 last year.
