FARGO, N.D. (KVRR) – Representatives of Grand Farm spoke today regarding the key issues facing farmers in the region.

The 2025 Regional Agriculture Pain Point Report was unveiled at the Cultivate Conference in Downtown Fargo.

The report lays out all the ways that growers in the region face increasing pressures.

She said the conference and the presentation of the report are key steps in making sure that farmers see progress in combatting these problems.

“I just really think what Grand Farms is doing, bringing agriculture and innovation together, it’s remarkable. I feel like it’s nice to have a seat at the table, it’s nice to have some input on what’s going on in ag,” she said.

“I think it’s going to be a big step forward in resolving some of these issues.”
