Missouri soybean growers officially opened their Center for Soy
Innovation in Jefferson City Thursday.
Governor Mike Parson spoke at the opening, telling Brownfield afterward that
the center not only showcases soybeans and builds that brand, it serves as a center
for teaching.
“It’s going to be a great opportunity for people to learn about how important
agriculture is, how important the soybean industry is,” Governor Parson told
Brownfield Ag News. “What I look at is for the kids that are going to come here
just to understand what agriculture means to the state of Missouri and how
important it is.”
The center is headquarters for the Missouri Soybean Merchandising Council and
for the Missouri Soybean Association, and features interactive displays about
soybeans and their uses.
