The North Dakota Mill and Elevator is the largest flour mill in the United States. It is located in the city of Grand Forks, North Dakota. The Mill is owned by the U.S. state of North Dakota and is the only state-owned milling facility in the United States.
The North Dakota Mill and Elevator Association started operations on October 22, 1922. The facility was built by the state as a way of bypassing what many area wheat farmers considered unfair business practices on the part of the railroads and milling facilities in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
Today, the Mill's offerings include not only flour, but also newer products like bread machine mixes, pancake mixes, and organic wheat products.
