The Ag Innovation Campus at Crookston, Minnesota has ceased operations. “The goal was to build a production facility at which both private companies and researchers could work on innovative soybean production technologies,” explained Eric Ahlgren, AIC board counsel. “We got a long way there, but the funding really wasn’t there to continue.” Last month’s fire impacting a portion of the facilities proved to be the final blow. Ahlgren told RRFN an Assignment for the Benefit of Creditors has been made that will allow secured parties and others to recover funds. The goal is to sell the facility with hopes the new owner will use it for soybean processing.
