Peterson Farms Seed Tackles New Project
Ahead of its field days September 10-11 at Prosper, North Dakota, Peterson Farms Seed hosted a ‘Sneak-Peek Media Tour’ this past week. PFS owner Carl Peterson highlighted the company’s investment in research and innovation. Details were also offered about a major construction project happening in Kindred, North Dakota. “We’ve been involved in identity-preserved crops for quite a while,” said Peterson. “The industry is geared toward huge volumes of non-differentiated products such as crush plants, ethanol plants, and export trains. That creates a niche for somebody who wants something a little different like a high-oil soybean or high-fiber wheat. We know we’re very connected to the genetic people, we have good contacts with industry people and we can fill the middle.” The Kindred site will be a trans-loading facility to serve the IP market.
