Kandiyohi County Board throws support behind locally grown shrimp
July 11, 2020
WILLMAR—If Paul Damhof is able to secure the capital he needs to complete a $10 million expansion of his saltwater shrimp farm near Blomkest, he said he believes he would be able to produce 250,000 pounds of Pacific white shrimp a year.
Pretty impressive considering the Pacific Ocean is more than 2,000 miles away.
“We are raising shrimp in salt water,” Damhof said. “All we are doing is mimicking the ocean water and raising saltwater shrimp right here in Minnesota.”
