Ground breaking for NDSU's new Peltier complex

(Fargo, ND)-- A slew of top North Dakota Officials  helped break ground on North Dakota State University’s (NDSU) Peltier Complex, a state-of-the-art agricultural academic facility, Friday. The facility will house NDSU’s cereal, food and meat science laboratories, as well as the Northern Crops Institute (NCI), an international meeting and learning center that works to develop, promote and market crops grown in North Dakota, South Dakota, Minnesota and Montana. 

“Thanks to our hard-working farmers and ranchers, Americans benefit every single day from having the highest quality, lowest cost food supply in the world,” said Hoeven “The research done at NDSU and the Northern Crops Institute helps our producers to improve their yields, reduce their costs and market their products, helping to strengthen their competitive edge in the global economy. It is fitting that this new facility be named for the Peltier family, who has had an enormous impact on North Dakota agriculture.” - Senator John Hoeven
