Fargo floods turn farm fields into sprawling lakes
Floodwaters flood fields and rural roads near Fargo North Dakota and Moorhead Minnesota as the Red River crest nears 19.5 feet. Farmers fear delayed planting in corn soybeans and beets with flood years like 2009, while some cows die and producers move herds to higher ground and shore up shelters. Farmer Brian Thomas navigates by boat to reach town as fields resemble a vast lake.

Health care bill moves with more Democratic backing
The health care effort drew seven additional Democratic supporters after earlier opposition. Some moderates demanded stricter abortion limits before switching, while a Republican and several holdouts signaled opposition. The plan would extend coverage to about 32 million people, ban pre existing condition denial, and require individual insurance. Costs are projected at 940 billion over ten years with subsidies for many families and expanded Medicaid.
