MANKATO, Minn. (KEYC) The Minnesota Soybean Research and Promotion Council is asking farmers to complete the Grower-Input Survey.
The survey takes approximately 10 minutes to complete and asks farmers a series of questions gauging their top production concerns and priorities heading into the 2021 growing season.
“As we look ahead to spring, we want to hear directly from farmers on the issues they’re facing on their operations,” Minnesota Soybean Research Director David Kee said. “The more we hear from our state’s growers, the more we can better focus our checkoff research on the issues that matter most to farmers.”
It’s the first big snowstorm of winter. Bob Rice and Angel Swann are out running errands and picking up food in Rice’s minivan. Even though the weather reports advise against driving, Rice, an enrolled member of the White Earth Nation and a born-and-raised Minnesotan, says there are no snow days for him.
And besides, he has more than 400 people to feed during a life-changing pandemic.
Rice is the owner of Pow Wow Grounds coffee shop, situated between the American Indian Center and the Minnesota Chippewa Tribe building on Franklin Avenue in Minneapolis. Together with Dream of Wild Health, where Swann works, and the Minnesota Two-Spirit society, Rice and crew set out to cook and deliver holiday meals to community members in need. Rice stresses that this event is a collaboration of organizations, funders and volunteers a real community effort.

Pandemic and holidays put new spotlight on Minnesota charities
Large or small, charitable groups in Minnesota have been called upon as never before to support the hungry, ailing and low-earning during the coronavirus pandemic. And despite being the cause of widespread income loss, they say, the pandemic has also reinvigorated donors who have the means to support them to do so. Written By: Matthew Guerry | ×

ST. PAUL It was back in May that Dennis Beckerleg came up with what he later called a crazy, stupid idea.
American Legion Post 21 in Moorhead, Minn., would hold a two-week canned food drive to support the local food pantry. And for every can it collected, Beckerleg wanted the Legion to donate a dollar.
