Jun. 17—Officials with ADM take the company's responsibilities seriously when it comes to the planned soybean crushing plant at Spiritwood, according to Ken Campbell, president of North American oils and biodiesel for ADM.

"We are not going to let our shareholders down," he said during a meeting with local officials in 詹姆斯敦 Wednesday. "We are not going to let down Stutsman County or 詹姆斯敦 and we sure as hell won't let down the state of North Dakota."

ADM宣布计划投资3.5亿美元收购嘉吉前麦芽厂，拆除大部分设施，并在毗连灵木能源园区协会工业园区的灵木地区新建一个大豆压榨厂。

ADM和斯图茨曼县委员会仍在就该项目的税收激励方案进行谈判。 6月18日（周五）上午8点，在斯图茨曼县法院，将就这一问题召开一次县委员会会议。

Until Wednesday, local leaders referred to ADM as "Company X" under a nondisclosure agreement.

Connie Ova, CEO of the 詹姆斯敦/Stutsman Development Corp., referred to the project as an "economic developer's dream come true."

詹姆斯敦市长德维恩·海因里希欢迎ADM来到詹姆斯敦社区，并向领导在该县增加澳门威斯尼斯人官网加工设施的一些人表示敬意。

"It is appropriate to gather at the Harold Newman Arena for this event," Heinrich said.

Newman's plan to construct an ethanol plant at Spiritwood brought about the first discussion of industrial development at Spiritwood. 纽曼无法建造他计划中的乙醇工厂。 后来，大河能源公司在该地点建造了达科塔精神能源乙醇工厂。

"Newman was always interested in the community and a pioneer in North Dakota ethanol production," Heinrich said.

海因里希祝愿ADM的大豆种植项目取得成功。

"What you will find in 詹姆斯敦 is success in business is not a good thing but a great thing," he said.

北达科他州澳门威斯尼斯人官网专员道格•戈林（Doug Goehring）表示，该项目已与至少两家可能的开发商进行了大约4年的讨论。

"Frankly, we needed all the pieces to fall together," he said.

2017年，明尼苏达州大豆种植者宣布计划在灵木建立一个大豆压榨厂，但未能为该项目筹集资金。

戈林说，ADM工厂将处理北达科他州种植的约25%的大豆。

"It is promising for the health and welfare of the state," he said.

坎贝尔说，ADM已经在公司内部指派了几名人员，全职负责计划中的灵木工厂的融资、规划和建设。

嘉吉前麦芽厂的拆除工作将于6月底开始。 计划要求及时完成压榨厂，以处理2023年秋季收获的大豆作物。

"This is another victory for North Dakota," said Al Christianson, business development and government affairs manager for Great River Energy.
