The North Dakota Soybean Growers Association was established 40 years ago. In 1983, a half-million acres of soybeans were grown in the state, primarily in the southeastern corner of North Dakota. Today, North Dakota is one of the top ten soybean production states in the country with production in the six-to-seven-million-acre range. Bob Sinner of Casselton helped organize the North Dakota Soybean Growers Association and was part of the original board. “When we started, we put together a group of growers up and down the (Red River) Valley and west to the Valley City and Jamestown area,” remembers Sinner. “These are guys that really give a damn and I was honored to serve with these guys that wanted to make a difference.” Sinner remains excited about the soybean industry. “Think about the crystal ball and where our future is, soy will be there.” Listen to the full interview.
