In a first-of-its-kind event, the Minnesota Soybean Research and Promotion Council traveled to the largest seaport in Europe to promote the St. Lawrence Seaway. During the Big Iron Farm Show, MSRPC board member Bill Zurn highlighted this trade mission. “We just had a trip where people went over to Amsterdam and Antwerp; we’re trying to get them to ship stuff into Duluth so we can fill those ships full of soybean meal and ship it back to them or Morocco or someplace like that.” Zurn, who farms at Calloway, is one of the 15 soybean farmers overseeing the state soybean checkoff.
