Rural America/ Rural Development Perspectives, 1997, vol. 12, issue 3

Abstract: Growing public concern about pollution and the environment has sparked interest in industrial uses of agricultural products. Industrial uses of these products can provide farmers with new market opportunities. Expanding industrial demand for farm products may boost farm income and can restore economic opportunity in rural communities by attracting value-added industries. For example, increased crambe production and the construction of a new oilseed processing plant may bring employment and income growth to rural North Dakota.
