Last year, on Jully 30, 2013,  I went on the Carrington Ag Business Tour.  At that time I took the following pictures and wrote a short review of the tour.  I really appreciated the chance to see firsthand four of the most successful ag businesses in our area.

The tour was very informative and successfully pointed out the intense focus/dedication that these business owners have in order to be so successful.

I hope that the Carrington Convention and Visitors Bureau will organize another Ag Business Tour this summer - with a focus on four more businesses.


Carrington Ag Business Tour - July 30, 2013

 

 

     The Carrington Ag Business Tour took place on Tuesday, July 30, 2013, visiting four ag-oriented establishments in our area: Andy Deterding Ag Aviation; NDSU Carrington Research Extension Center; Richard Zink's Wholesale Ag Products; and the Van Bedaf Dairy.

     The four ag businesses on this tour are excellent examples of ag-oriented endeavors at their best. These business owners and the staff at NDSU Carrington Research Extension Center need to be commended for the extreme effort they put into their work... and for the economic opportunities/prestige they bring to our community.

     Special thanks goes to Steve Metzger for hosting the tour and to Farm Credit Services, North Dakota Farmers Union, Arrowwood Prairie Co-op and the Carrington Convention and Visitors Bureau for making this tour possible.
