Quick trip to DC with @MNSoyGrowers to help try and get the Farm bill to finish line.

[MN Soybean Growers @MNSoyGrowers]

This morning we met with Colin Anonsen, Sen. @amyklobuchar sr. economic advisor. During the visit, MSGA leaders discussed the importance of crop insurance in the Farm Bill, preserving the soy checkoff, the launch of @AIC_crookston, Port of Duluth export opportunities & biodiesel.

I was excited to hear how the #soybeancheckoff has benefited the future of Ag from a professor at #Virginiatech who let me sit at their table so I could be next to my colleagues at the D.C. airport. They were grateful for @UnitedSoy grants #soybeancheckoff #ASA_soybean

Executive Director @CapitolSoy spoke with @kare11 yesterday about our legal challenge to the state of Minnesota's adoption of California's "zero-emission vehicle" mandate. https://t.co/Rzfny72bnF

[MN Soybean Growers @MNSoyGrowers]

We've joined several advocacy groups in filing a lawsuit against the state of MN for its adoption of California’s “zero-emission vehicle” mandate.

“MN consumers know better than Calif. politicians what is best for their own lives," Pres. @bobworth8 said. https://t.co/agjpODC4me

A friendly reminder US ag acres are steadily shrinking.

US soybeans on the tag at the meal and feed processing plant we toured today! They import 2.2 mmt of meal and they hope to be at 2.8 by the end of the year. Great to see our American soybeans at their final destination with some very happy customers!@MNSoybean

Here are the businesses and associations involved.

Excited this morning to learn more about the Philippines and US trade!

[Darin Johnson @Soybeanboy96]

Wheels up for the Philippines! Excited and proud to represent Minnesota Soybean and our checkoff. The Philippines Imported just over 2.0 mmt of US soybean meal and 123000 metric tons of whole beans. That’s up 20% year over year. @MNSoyGrowers @MNSoybean

After a 2-year hiatus, MSGA heads back to the Hill in St. Paul tomorrow! We'll have over a dozen farmers walking the Capitol, meeting w/ legislators from both sides of the aisle. Later, we'll host a legislative reception & welcome @GovTimWalz to our Mankato HQs. #HillVisits22

[Darin Johnson @Soybeanboy96]

One of many checkoff investment. That quite literally keeps soybeans on the move!

[MN Soybean Research & Promotion Council @MNSoybean]

Because nearly 61% of U.S. soybean exports depart from facilities in the New Orleans area, it is critical to invest checkoff dollars through the Soy Transportation Coalition into the efficiency and productivity of the Mississippi River.
