Tammy Miller will join fellow elected officials including state Agriculture Commissioner Doug Goehring, state legislators, business leaders and others at a press conference Wednesday, Sept. 18, in Bismarck to highlight the positive impacts of the completion of Phase 1 of the Grand Farm Innovation Campus.

Miller was a founding member of the Steering Committee for Grand Farm. Phase 1 of the campus includes the purchase and utilization of 140 acres of land being used for collaboration, research, and demonstrations, and Grand Farm’s 25,000-square-foot Innovation Shop, which held its grand opening in June.
