Bus offers free ride to EXPO for northern MN farmers
Driving more than 350 miles from northwest Minnesota to Mankato in January can be tough, which is why farmers have the option to hop on the Northern Bus for a free ride to MN Ag EXPO.
The Northern Bus will once again stop at five locations in northern Minnesota to pick up MN Ag EXPO attendees on Jan. 21 and return on Jan. 23. Minnesota corn and soybean farmers have until Jan. 10 to pre-register for MN Ag EXPO (Register here today).
Contact Lorri Ann Hartel at 218-686-6144 by Monday, January 13, 2020 to reserve a spot on the bus. It is important to note times and locations are subject to change based on participants riding the bus.
