Did you know that North Dakota is leading the nation in the production of flour, sunflowers, field peas, dry edible beans, flax, honey and canola. Not to mention sugar beets and potatoes! Agriculture is North Dakota's leading industry which means much of the food you consume on a daily basis started right here in North Dakota. On National Ag Day we are celebrating everyone who takes part in the agriculture that makes North Dakota prosper!

Happy National Potato Chip Day! 🥔 North Dakota is one of the leading producers of potatoes in the country and the Red River Valley is the top producing region in the state. With Simplot and soon to be Agristo, it's safe to say that some of your favorite chips came from the Grand Forks region. Crunch on that!
