NDSU Launches Legendary Harvest Project for Data Center and Greenhouse Colocation in North Dakota
DATA AND AI INFRASTRUCTURE
The Legendary Harvest Project, launched by North Dakota State University and Resource Innovation Institute, aims to explore the feasibility of colocating greenhouses with data centers. Supported by Applied Digital Corporation, the initiative seeks to address limited year-round food production in North Dakota and make use of waste heat from data centers.
The project envisions a 'Farm Park' that integrates greenhouse operations with data center infrastructure. The Polaris Forge 2 site in Harwood will be used for evaluating technical, economic, and environmental aspects of this approach. A report detailing findings is expected by mid-2026.
