PIIE Program brings soybean leaders to the Western Plains

Aug 21, 2023

Leaders from ASA and USB recently ventured into North Dakota's vast landscapes as part of the 2023 Producer and Industry Information Exchange (PIIE) tour, an event championed by USB and the National Oilseed Processors Association.

This northern state, celebrated for its interplay of agriculture and energy sectors, set the stage for an enlightening journey. Attendees were acquainted with the expanding world of soybean cultivation and given a tour of state-of-the-art establishments like the Green Bison Soy Processing center. Their journey included visits to the Marathon Petroleum Renewable Diesel Refinery, Red Trail Energy, and the innovative projects of Carbon Capture and Underground Sequestration.

Attendees reveled in the beauty of farm visits, the academic atmosphere of NDSU’s Dickenson Research Center, the serene prairie potholes, and the awe-inspiring bison strolls in Teddy Roosevelt National Park.

The tour was graced by stalwarts from NDSU, NDSC, and various agricultural and energy associations, infusing the event with diverse perspectives. Among the key attendees were USB's Matt Gast and Ryan Richard, alongside ASA's Monte Peterson and Justin Sherlock.

Guided by the expertise of Nancy Johnson, Executive Director of the North Dakota Soybean Association, this tour epitomized the essence of unity, exploration, and the potential of the agriculture sector in the U.S.
