North Dakota

The North Dakota Mill and Elevator is the largest flour mill in the United States. The mill opened on October 22, 1922 and is threatening to close if you don't unlock the North Dakota Breakout. Farmers in North Dakota produce enough wheat each year to make 12.6 billion loaves of bread. We still need our PBJ, BLT, ham, turkey or pimento cheese sandwiches. Please hurry, you only have 30 minutes to unlock the locks and save our SANDWICHES!

The American bison lives only in North America, while the two main buffalo species are the Asian water buffalo and African Cape buffalo.
