For the second straight year, the Minnesota Soybean Research & Promotion Council and the Minnesota Soybean Growers Association took on agricultural giants and emerged victorious at the National Agri-Marketing Association (NAMA) Region III Awards.

The Council scored wins for its baseball-themed 2018 Annual Report and a digital #FollowAMNFarmer campaign, defeating CHS and Pioneer, respectively.

Soybean Business, MSGA’s official magazine, scored top honors for the first time in the publication’s history for a trio of issues covering the agriculture’s economy, MSGA’s advocacy efforts and a preview of its MN AG EXPO trade show. The two organizations, managed by Ag Management Solutions, will compete for the national awards in Kansas City this August.

“I couldn’t be more proud of this team,” says AMS Director of Public Relations and Soybean Business Editor-in-Chief Doug Monson. “I don’t know if Minnesota farmers truly understand how hard the staff works to promote soybean farmers and the great work they do, but I witness it every day. I am humbled to be a part of a truly inspiring team.”
