About Northern Crops Institute
Northern Crops Institute (NCI) is a collaborative effort among North Dakota, Minnesota, Montana, and South Dakota to support the promotion and market development of crops grown in this four-state region. The NCI is an international meeting and learning center which brings together customers, commodity traders, technical experts, and processors for discussion, education, and technical services. Situated on the campus of North Dakota State University, in Fargo, North Dakota, USA, this unique facility is only minutes from the farm fields which yield much of the world's food.
NCI short courses enable participants from around the world and across the U.S. to learn about northern grown crops and their unique quality, marketing, and processing characteristics.
The Northern Crops Institute provides technical services for the domestic and overseas markets. The Wenger TX-52 high temperature/ high pressure extruder and a DeMaco 2VSM pasta extruder plus post processing equipment (enrobing, drying, toasting, flaking etc.) are useful for developing products on a pilot scale. Staff members also travel overseas to provide technical services regarding uses of northern grown crops.
