During the course at NCI, participants learned about incorporating U.S. soy flour into their baked goods. While in Fargo, the group visited with Joel Thorsrud of the United Soybean Board and members of the North Dakota Soybean Council. Additional visits were made to two local farms and a grain elevator. Following the visit to North Dakota, the team traveled to Minneapolis, Minn. this week to meet with Pam Schubbe at CHS, Inc.
