The Minnesota Soybean Research and Promotion Council is conducting a referendum to ask growers if they wish to replace their national check-off with a Minnesota check-off.
If the national program is discontinued, the state council is proposing a check-off in the same amount now charged under the national program, which is one-half of 1 percent.
Soybean growers may cast their ballot at one of a number of locations, including Friday, Feb. 17, 8:30 a.m.-3 p.m. Broadway Ballroom, 115 - 30th Ave E, Alexandria; and Friday, Feb. 17, 8 a.m.-3 p.m. Northland Inn, Hwy 2 & 75 N, Crookston.
