It pays to join MSGA.

Secured dollars for Soy Innovation Campus

MSGA dreamed big and its efforts paid off. The legislature approved $5 million in funding as part of the Soy Innovation Campus at the UMN-Crookston. Once fully operating, the crush and biodiesel facility aims to increase demand for soybeans in the region by an estimated 10-to-20 cents per bushel.

Pushed for tax bill legislation to bring property tax relief

MSGA pushed for additional tax relief for farmers, successfully ending the legislative session with an increase from 40 to 70 percent in the school building bond ag credit.

Fought for additional rural mental health funding

MSGA has been a staunch advocate for raising awareness and increasing resources for rural mental health. The legislature approved $1.3 million for mental health counseling and more advocate throughout greater Minnesota.
