While dry bean acreage fluctuates slightly across the western United States, Columbia Grain CEO Jeff Van Pevenage says North Dakota acreage remains strong. “It’s part of the reason why we look to expand our business in North Dakota,” said Van Pevanage. “We’re in the middle of building a brand new state-of-the-art bean processing facility in Valley City, North Dakota which will more than double what we’re doing in the business in the State of North Dakota.”
