ST. PAUL, Minn. – Agriculture producers in Minnesota have elected new
members to serve on the barley, corn and soybean commodity research and
promotion councils. Each board membership position serves a three year
term.
The
councils play an important role in developing and promoting Minnesota
farm products, including grains and meats. “Commodity council elections
allow producers a say in how their check-off dollars are spent. It’s
very important they take advantage of this opportunity and I want to
thank all the candidates and producers who took the time to cast a
ballot,” said Minnesota Department of Agriculture Commissioner, Dave
Frederickson.
