Special Section:
A vision for Minnesota commodities

To know when you have arrived, you must know where you are going - whether driving a car or running a business. It takes a plan and a vision to reach your goals.

Minnesota’s agriculture industry is constantly changing. Prices, weather conditions, even government programs have an impact on what is raised on Minnesota farms. Despite the variables, ag leaders are staying abreast of new-market opportunities that will sustain demand for their products.

For this special commodity section of Ag Innovation News, we interviewed leaders of Minnesota commodity producer groups  - corn, beef, pork, wheat and barley. We asked about their vision for the future. What new uses are developing for their commodities? What are the challenges and prospects for expanding markets?

In the next issue, we will feature other Minnesota commodities. While producer groups’ priorities vary, all are keeping an eye on the future.
