The Marshall County Soybean & Corn Growers and their checkoff dollars are supporting local food shelves in Argyle, Grygla-Gatzke, Strandquist and Warren.
“The Food Shelf program in our county is very important and helpful to those in need,” said Tony Johnson, president of the Marshall County Soybean & Corn Growers. “The Marshall County Soybean and Corn Growers are happy to be able to help those that need assistance.”
The farmers’ contributions will help feed individuals and families in need.
“Thank you for your recent food donation to the Area Food Shelf,” said Karen Gunderson, an area food shelf volunteer. “Your contribution has made such a meaningful difference in the lives of those we serve.”
The Marshall County Soybean & Corn Growers Association is affiliated with the Minnesota Soybean Research & Promotion Council, which oversees the investment of soybean checkoff dollars on behalf of approximately 25,000 farmers in Minnesota. The Council is governed by the rules of a federally mandated checkoff program that requires all soybean producers to pay a fee on the soybeans they sell. This money is used to promote, educate and develop market opportunities for soybeans.
The Minnesota Corn Growers Association (MCGA) is one of the largest grassroots farm organizations in the United States. Working in close partnership with the Minnesota Corn Research & Promotion Council, MCGA identifies and promotes opportunities for Minnesota’s 24,000 corn farmers while building connections with the non-farming.
