Stevens Point, Wisconsin was under consideration for the new Agristo potato processing plant. Those negotiations have ended and the European company has selected Grand Forks for the facility. “We have 12-plus counties where we have the potential to grow dryland potatoes for this processing plant,” said Gary Shields, executive director, Northland Potato Growers Association. “For Grand Forks, this is probably the biggest ‘white hat’ event that we could ask for. This is a family-owned business with folks coming here to bring their legacy, we should all be excited about this growth for our future.”
