WORTHINGTON Nobles County farmers and their soybean checkoff dollars are giving back to local first responders this summer – and promoting the diverse uses of soybeans at the same time.
The Nobles County Corn and Soybean Growers Association has joined the Minnesota Soybean Research & Promotion Council (MSR&PC) and its 44 organized counties in a new “Driving Soy” campaign. The statewide promotion highlights Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company’s line of soy-oil tires.

After two years as vice president, Mike Skaug was named president of the Minnesota Soybean Growers Association Monday during the nonpartisan’s organization first in-person board meeting in more than a year.
“I’m humbled and honored my fellow directors have put their confidence in me to lead this storied organization,” said Skaug, who’s helped lead MSGA’s advocacy strategizing in St. Paul. “I’m eager to hit the ground running to advocate for our members and promote policies that will improve the profitability outlook for Minnesota farmers.”
Skaug (prounounced S-cow ) is also chair of the Ag Innovation Campus in Crookston. He farms alongside his son, Ryan, on their fifth-generation farm in Polk County. He joined the MSGA board in 2012 and later served as treasurer before becoming vice president in 2019. Skaug replaces Jamie Beyer, who stepped down after two years as president.
