While some of the wheat grown in North Dakota is processed in state by local flour mills and pasta processing companies, much of it is exported out of state or out of the country. The North Dakota Wheat Commission provides production and quality information about North Dakota wheat and educational opportunities for buyers, but does not sell the physical product. Farmers in the state generally sell their crop to one of the more than 300 local elevators in the state, who then market the crop domestically or for export. This section explains the logistics in marketing North Dakota wheat, suppliers of wheat, market information, and contract specifications.
