While soybean production continues to expand rapidly in the Dakotas, the only processing plant located in either state is in Volga, South Dakota. However, that situation is about to change.Soybean production continues to expand rapidly in the Dakotas. A record yield of 41.5 bushels/acre greatly helped North Dakota produce a record 6.8 MMT (250 million bushels) in 2016. Meanwhile, South Dakota’s yield of 49.5 bushels/acre matched the record set in 2015 and resulted in a record 6.3 MMT (229 million bushels) production last year. The only processing plant located in either state is in Volga, South Dakota, but that situation is about to change with the addition of two new plants over the next several years.Minnesota Soybean Processors announced...

Illuminating the value of technical research
On behalf of a commodity producer organization, WPI evaluated the outputs from a project that featured a $5 million investment into technical research over multiple years. WPI’s team captured the results of this extensive effort and synthesized them for presentation to the organization’s governing board; among the findings uncovered and presented for the first time was the development of genomic traits proven, via rigorous testing, to provide crop yield advantages of 50 percent or more to U.S. farmers in times of drought. Capturing measurable results from long-term efforts can be challenging. Educating clients on the dynamics of success measurement when quantifiable results are not readily available requires deep client-consultant collaboration and an ability to consider both near- and long-term client aspirations with market/policy dynamics – attributes that WPI brings to every consulting engagement.
