Business will convert Crystal s spent lime into pellets for soil remediation
Mike Christopherson
The Crookston Housing and Economic Development Authority Board of Directors on Tuesday approved a $100,000 loan to rural Crookston farmer Bryan Boll and his new business venture, Northstar Lime, LLC. The business will be housed in the former Simplot building on Crookston’s southern edge, which Boll has purchased.
Northstar Lime, launched in October 2020, will take the spent lime produced by American Crystal Sugar – the lime is a byproduct of creating sugar; it’s used to filter out impurities – and convert it into pellets that will be shipped to farmers, who will use it to remediate the soil in their fields.

There should be more clarity sometime next Monday evening, July 19, regarding the future of Craig Hoiseth as executive director of the Crookston Housing and Economic Development Authority (CHEDA).
The Crookston City Council will hold a special meeting in the city hall council chambers at 5:30 p.m. Monday to authorize what the council approved on a 5-3 vote on Monday, July 12, regarding six council members and Mayor Dale Stainbrook taking over as CHEDA Board members – the members of the previous board were no longer considered board members as of July 13 – and having the power to act on agenda items at a special CHEDA Board member that will immediately follow the July 19 special council meeting. (The council at the special meeting will also authorize their powers as CHEDA Board regarding the regularly scheduled CHEDA Board meeting set for 7 a.m. on Tuesday, July 20.)
