Big Iron Farm Show September 10-12, 2013 Red River Valley Fairgrounds, West Fargo, ND Stop by AURI's booth in building "K" to learn about the latest in agricultural innovation.
Jay Erckenbrack has worked in the wild rice industry since 1982. He once asked a veteran northern grower why people don't eat more of Minnesota's delicious native grain. The grower's answer: "Cook time." Steaming or boiling long grain wild rice takes 45 to 60 minutes. But Minnestalgia's stone ground wild rice cooks in less than six minutes, Erckenbrack says, a convenience for today's busy cooks.
Congrats to AURI client Fergus Foods and Rob Fuglie on the opening of the new, allergen-free commercial kitchen in Fergus Falls, Minnesota. An official event was held on Tuesday, August 20.
