Parson calls Missouri Center for Soy Innovation ‘a great opportunity to learn’

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.
