Welcome to Minnesota Soybean

Welcome to Minnesota Soybean! We're very proud to tell you that Minnesota's soybean farmers not only feed the world, they also grow a crop that is used to make innovative "green" products that help protect the environment and reduce our dependence on foreign oil. Minnesota's soybean farmers are also knowledgeable, respectful stewards of the land they live and raise their families on. They are business men and women who continually strive to adopt new technologies and practices that will protect and preserve Minnesota's treasured natural resources, while producing a safe and abundant food supply. Collectively known as Minnesota Soybean, the Minnesota Soybean Growers Association (MSGA) and the Minnesota Soybean Research & Promotion Council (MSR & PC) are two very distinct and different organizations that work together toward a common goal - to increase the profitability of Minnesota's soybean farmers.

Farm Organizations Seek Farmers to Speak Up for Agriculture - “Speak for Yourself” program allows farmers to tell their story

Farmers interested in helping the public better understand how Minnesota’s farm families are feeding the world, caring for the environment and fueling the economy are invited to participate in a new advocacy program called Speak for Yourself.

The Minnesota Soybean Research & Promotion Council (MSR&PC) and Minnesota Farm Bureau Federation (MFBF) are organizing a statewide team of farmers to share information about their family farms to local business organizations, civic groups, community organizations and other non-farm groups.

“We need to be at the table and engage with consumers, share our stories and listen to the consumers questions,” said MFBF President Kevin Paap. “This year, we are looking for at least 40 farmers who are interested in sharing their story with others in an approximately 50 mile radius from their farms.”

“If agriculture doesn’t speak for itself, others will, and their message is not always what people need to hear,” says Ron Obermoller, a Brewster, Minn., farmer and MSR&PC vice-chairman. “By sharing their individual stories, farmers who participate in Speak for Yourself will help all of agriculture.”

If you are interested in learning more about Speak for Yourself contact Tara Sammon Meyer at 612-756-3223, speakforyoursselfmn@gmail.com or read our brochure.
