The first phase of the Crookston campus construction project will continue all summer. “The workers are assembling the building for processing,” says Mike Skaug, board chair, Ag Innovation Campus. “Once the building is assembled, a crew will come in to do inside work. The estimated completion for this first phase of the project is summer 2023. “This is a research facility that has capabilities of processing oils from plants. We are putting in a processing plant first so we can start to generate revenue and then we’ll move onto phase two or three. We’re still hoping we will be able to process 2022 soybeans ahead of the 2023 harvest.”
