Seeking a neighborly favor Monday, North Dakota Gov. John Hoeven asked South Dakota to water his state's crops this upcoming weekend while he and the rest of North Dakota goes on vacation. 'If you could just turn on the state's irrigation systems around noon every day for about an hour, that'd be great,' Hoeven said. 'Oh, and just grab the mail and the newspapers, too, if you don't mind.' Hoeven also left South Dakota with the phone numbers of neighbor states Minnesota and Montana in the event of an emergency.
