MINTO, N.D.-A potato processing plant in the northeast North Dakota town of Minto was destroyed by a weekend fire.

The Walsh County Sheriff's Department tells WDAZ-TV (http://bit.ly/r9MRpr) that workers were inside the Lone Wolf Farms plant on Sunday but no one was hurt. The cause of the blaze was not immediately determined.

The family-owned plant cleans and ships potatoes to supermarkets and wholesalers around the country.
