(Washburn, ND) -- A Washburn, North Dakota area farmer has pleaded guilty to charges in connection with a crop insurance fraud case.
Authorities accused 59-year old Kent Pfaff of providing false information to crop insurance companies and the U.S. Ag Department to receive increased payments. Pfaff initially pleaded not guilty but has since changed his plea to guilty. He will be sentenced in March.
Federal prosecutors are recommending Pfaff be sentenced to three years of supervised release and make nearly $380,000 in restitution to the Agriculture department's Risk Management agency.
