North Dakota Wind Tower Plant Cuts About 100

WEST FARGO, N.D. (AP) — Wind tower maker DMI Industries Inc., says it has cut 100 more workers due to declining demand from customers.

DMI is a subsidiary of Otter Tail Corp., based in Fargo and Fergus Falls, Minn. The company also has operations in Fort Erie, Ontario, and a plant under construction in Tulsa, Okla....
