Leaders from our team - including @MNSoybean, @MNSoyGrowers, @40SquareCoop, @SoyaGrains & @AIC_crookston - celebrated Ag Management Solutions' recognition at the @greatermankato awards ceremony. We strive to continue raising the bar in the years ahead! https://t.co/TKBFKQpeBN
I'm very excited to visit with industry leaders from across the region and accept this award tonight on behalf of our farmer-leaders, clients & staff. AMS is proud to Grow in the @GreenSeamRegion!
Congratulations to Ag Management Solutions, the recipient of the 2022 @GreenSeamRegion's Growing in the GreenSeam award! They will be honored this evening at the Greater Mankato Growth Business Awards & Hall of Fame, presented by @AbdoSolutions.
I really enjoyed the conversation w/ my friends at @krjbkrjmkkcq radio. We chatted about the potential & latest building progress w/ the @AIC_crookston, along with how the @MNSoybean checkoff is #SoySteppingUp for farmers & health care heroes in Minnesota. https://t.co/fsti9QAN17
Between meetings at #Classic22, I was honored to visit w/ the MN House Ag Committee to give an update on the latest @AIC_crookston progress. This week, we secured a grain handling contractor as we look ahead to construction continuing this spring on this one-of-a-kind facility.
Thank you to Zen-Noh Grain, the Port of Southern Louisiana, and Cargill for allowing Minnesota farmers and staff to visit your facilities and learn more about the challenges and opportunities in exporting more soybeans.

Many of our farmer leaders have pre #classic22 board meetings this morning for orgs and groups that the checkoff supports.
Wheaton farmer Tom Frisch sits on the North Central Soybean Research Program board - which is a multi-state production research & outreach group.
The first phase of construction on the @AIC_crookston schedule is completed, as the non-profit crush and research facility moves a step closer to its 2022 production goal. https://t.co/ZnjjAOJPgq
'Tis the season for SOY GIVING.
Starting next Monday (Dec. 20), we will be giving away soy-based products and goodies on our Facebook (Minnesota Soybean) page.
This is a week you WON'T want to miss. #SeasonOfSOY
Our Executive Director @TSlunecka is on a panel this morning at the Prairie Grains Conference in Grand Forks where he is talking #checkoff investments, including the @AIC_crookston which he says can be used to accommodate the lack of research opportunities for oilseeds.
“Who is going to prove if a cover crop is profitable? Certainly not the farmer, who shouldn’t take on that expense. The AIC will allow us to crush those oilseeds, find uses and test them out to make those cover crops profitable.”
This is a critical issue and important the industry comes together as we did on the panel. I am pleased to be a part of the discussion and represent Minnesota agriculture.
I had the opportunity to be a part of a panel discussion at the HomeField Advantage Heartland Conference Program last week on leveraging ag technology and transportation investments in order to stay economically competitive compared to other countries.

I really enjoyed my chat earlier this week with @LeifySpurge to discuss the full vision for the @AIC_crookston, and the latest checkoff investments from @MNSoybean. Listen here: :https://t.co/VbUeTvG1cd
Nominate a non-profit in your community to win a set of soy-based tires!
Whether it is a food bank, athletic organization, after school program, or area church, tell us about a non-profit & how it could benefit from a new set of tires. #DrivingSOY

“If it weren’t for MSGA, I would be a lot more pessimistic when it comes to the future of agriculture,” -@JamieVBeyer
Our farmer leaders are in Mankato today for a board meeting where they will cover leg issues, hear from national leaders, and vote for the next executive team.
Thank you to the Derek Estrem family, as well as the Dakota/Rice County Soybean Growers for helping us kick off the statewide #DrivingSOY campaign! The county board donated a set of soy-based, pursuit-rated Goodyear tires to the Rice County Sheriff's Department.
I had the opportunity to spend my morning with @LFNupdates and @rrfn talking Plasma Blue and its impact on the #biodiesel industry and #mnag community.
