FARGO, N.D. (AP) _ Democratic U.S. Sen.-elect Heidi Heitkamp

says she has been asked to serve on the Senate Agriculture

Committee.

Heitkamp narrowly defeated Republican Rick Berg in Tuesday's

election. She said during an appearance in Fargo on Thursday that

Michigan Democratic Sen. Debbie Stabenow asked her to fill the spot

on the Agriculture Committee.

Heitkamp says she would like to see a farm bill passed in the

lame duck session of Congress.
