Farmfest returns to Gilfillan Estates near Morgan Aug. 6-8, and the Minnesota Corn Growers Association (MCGA) will again be a can’t-miss stop in Tent 702.

MCGA is excited to share the many ways our corn growers are building a sustainable future for the state’s ag sector and all Minnesotans.

Stop by the tent to learn about MCGA’s efforts to finally remove the outdated barrier restricting sales of E15 during the summer months. Or learn more about the headline-grabbing investment by the state’s corn farmers in University of Minnesota research focused on the development of corn-based plastics. MCGA grower leaders will be on hand all three days to speak about that and more with attendees.

Attendees can also stop by Tent 702 to renew or become an MCGA member. A special incentive to sign up as a member at Farmfest: New members will receive an MCGA headlamp with endless uses on and off the farm.

And if that isn’t enough to stop by, samples of delicious sweet corn ice cream will again be available to attendees. Provided by the University of Minnesota, the ice cream has always been one of the best ways to cool off under the hot August sun.

For all Farmfest-related announcements, be sure to stay tuned into MCGA on Twitter and Facebook, as well as follow the blog.
