BISMARCK — North Dakota’s state-owned flour mill won’t buy Canadian wheat this year because a supply problem has eased, the mill’s general manager says.The state Industrial Commission, which is the mill’s board of directors, voted Monday to rescind its permission to allow the mill to buy Canadian hard red spring wheat and durum. The wheat varieties are used to make baked goods and pasta.
N.D. Gov. John Hoeven, Attorney General Wayne Stenehjem and Agriculture Commissioner Roger Johnson make up the commission. The mill, which began making flour in 1922, has never used Canadian grain for its milling.
