Cuts will affect few in Fargo the way they will the legions of rural-life researchers toiling at North Dakota State University. On the edge of chocolate-dark fields on the west side of the campus, the federal government has built a maze of greenhouses, labs and research facilities dedicated to spawning new high-yield varieties of bug-resistant wheat, potatoes, sunflowers and sugar beets. There the Northern Crop Sciences Lab, the Biosciences Research Laboratory and the Wheat Quality Laboratory attract millions each year in research grants. Nearby, the Upper Great Plains Transportation Institute and the Mountain-Plains Consortium perform...

The proud father's reaction: "The feds won't pay me to take care...
