  3. See a refurbished Cummins Jeep while learning about the advancements in new engine technologies and its impact on emissions.
  4. Put your pest identification skills to the test. Be sure to check out the variety of soybean pests on display, including soybean gall midge and Palmer amaranth.
  5. Meet with a farmer leader overseeing checkoff investments. Be sure to ask questions on current checkoff-funded projects.
  6. Soybean checkoff-paying farmers will receive a free hitch pin (limited quantity per day).
  7. The Minnesota Soybean Growers Association will also be in the booth, making booth 620 a hotbed for policy issues affecting Minnesota agriculture.
  8. MSGA members will receive a coupon good toward a corn dog, cheese curds or mini donuts, all cooked in high oleic soybean oil on the Farmfest grounds.
  9. New and current MSGA members will also receive free flash lights and stress balls while supplies last.
