Cattle Anthrax In North Dakota & USDA Farm Expenses
Last weekend, the state of North Dakota confirmed its second case of anthrax this year in a beef cattle herd in Stark County, according to the state veterinarian’s office.
North Dakota State Veterinarian Dr. Ethan Andress urged producers in counties with past cases to consult veterinarians about vaccination and to be alert for unusual livestock deaths. He emphasized that effective vaccines are available but require more than a week to build immunity, with boosters needed annually for continued protection.
North Dakota Agriculture Commissioner Doug Goehring noted that while anthrax occurs most often in northeastern, southeastern, and south-central North Dakota, it has been detected across nearly every part of the state. A few cases are typically reported each year, though some outbreaks have been much larger, such as in 2005 when more than 500 livestock deaths were confirmed.

Earlier in the week, in Kansas City at the Agriculture Outlook Forum, U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Brooke L. Rollins spoke on the current state of the farm economy in the United States and addressed the ways President Trump is supporting American agriculture. U.S. farm production inputs are significantly more costly than four years ago, putting pressure on farmers' bottom line. Between 2020 and now, seed expenses have increased 18%, fuel and oil expenses increased 32%, fertilizer expenses increased 37%, and interest expenses increased by a whopping 73%. Additionally, labor costs increased 47% since 2020.
