Industry Impact

With an economic foundation built on agriculture and a culture of innovation, it’s no surprise that the region has many successful and globally recognizable value-added ag companies whose focus is to convert the region’s abundant agricultural resources into other finished goods. Food grade products from local companies such as American Crystal Sugar, Abbiamo Pasta, and Dakota Specialty Milling end up on the tables of countless homes nationwide. Being located in Cass County, ND, the #1 producing county of soybeans in the nation, it is easy to see why ND Soybean Processors is investing $400 Million to build a new processing facility to produce food grade oil fit for consumption or to be further refined into renewable diesel.
