JAMESTOWN, N.D. – The Archer-Daniels-Midland Company has plans to build a $350 million soybean crushing plant and refinery in North Dakota.
Gov. Doug Burgum joined ADM Monday in announcing plans for the state’s first dedicated soybean plant. ADM says the plant and refinery in Spiritwood would create 70 jobs and process up to 150,000 bushels of soybeans each day. It’s expected to be completed by the 2023 harvest. It will be at the site of the former Cargill Malting Plant.
The National Agricultural Statistics Service says North Dakota ranked ninth in the nation in soybean production in 2020, producing over 190 million bushels of soybeans.
