Look for Minnesota Corn at State Fair, Big Iron

After last year’s hiatus, the Minnesota Corn Growers Association (MCGA) will make its presence felt at the Minnesota State Fair in St. Paul and the Big Iron Farm Show in Fargo, N.D.
At the State Fair, which runs Aug. 26 to Labor Day, Sept. 6, MCGA will continue its sponsorship of Kemps Little Farm Hands. Tailored to kids ages 3-10, the free educational exhibit gives children and their families the chance to experience Minnesota agriculture in a fun and interactive space.
Don’t miss the Minnesota Corn Fairstalk at the State Fair’s North End. The 24-foot-tall installation features giant LED screens that display news from the fair and fun facts about corn and farming.
At the Big Iron Farm Show slated for Sept. 14-16, Minnesota Corn will also be on hand to talk with attendees about the latest from the world of corn.
Visitors can learn about the many ways Minnesota’s corn farmers are driving growth in the state. That includes record-setting sales of ethanol-blended fuels, research investments building a more sustainable future on the farm, and advocacy around issues impacting rural Minnesotans. The booth will also be the place to sign up or renew your MCGA membership.
