The Renville County Corn & Soybean Growers held a fuel promotion event at the Olivia Cenex on July 24th from 11:00-1:00pm. They offered discounts on biofuels and had a successful event. This was their second fuel event of the summer, and it kicked off Olivia's Corn Capital Days!

The Kandiyohi County Corn and Soybean Growers partnered with the Willmar Stingers baseball team and had a great night giving away corn and soybean themed t-shirts and other memorabilia. They enjoy doing outreach events in their community, all with the goal of educating the public about farming. One of their board members, Nick Bjornberg, even got to throw out the first pitch before the game!

On July 30th, the McLeod County Corn and Soybean Growers hosted their first ever "Safety Day" event at the McLeod County Fairgrounds. Jack Volz, a grain bin safety speaker, offered advice and instructions to farmers when entering grain bins. A representative from McLeod Coop Power also spoke about power line safety and what to do if a power line lands on a piece of equipment. To end the night, the Brownton fire department did a SoyFoam demonstration. This was a great evening of learning and instruction to help farmers stay safe while they are working. The McLeod County Corn & Soybean Growers hope to expand this event next year!
