The guy that died in the Fargo plane crash recently worked for a company called Weather Modification Inc.
There website says:
I don't think Bowman ND is like a desert for rainfall and hail isn't really that common but regardless, I had no idea this was even a thing.
Next time it rains a little extra in the Red River Valley, the Fargo company could have produced it with "cloud seeding".
