MN Soybean Playing for Keeps at MN Ag Expo

Step out of Mother Nature’s glitchy winter and level up at MN Ag Expo, Minnesota’s marquee winter agriculture gathering, Jan. 22-23 at the Mayo Clinic Health System Event Center during the annual conference and trade show hosted by the Minnesota Soybean Growers Association (MSGA) and Minnesota Corn Growers Association (MCGA). 

With the ideal spread that’s sure to score big with the hungry mind, MN Ag Expo is champing at the bit to open its event doors. Along with a full trade show floor featuring nearly 100 exhibitors, Minnesota Soybean’s interactive, arcade-themed booth (#28-31) will dive into how checkoff resources are combatting non-tariff trade barriers that limit trade and restrict farmer profitability.

MSGA is holding a raffle for two arcades: a wide-body retro replay arcade and a modern retro replay arcade. Winners will be announced at MN Ag Expo on Jan. 23 (attendance isn’t necessary). Raffle tickets will be available for purchase in Minnesota Soybean’s booth, with all proceeds benefiting MSGA’s advocacy efforts in St. Paul and Washington, D.C.

After chasing away trade tariffs in the “Soy-Man” arcade game, attendees can continue advancing their knowledge with MN Ag Expo keynote speakers Greg Peterson, aka Machinery Pete, and Rob Sharkey, better known as The Shark Farmer.
