Sioux City, IAMankato, MN

With 12 years of service to her credit, including two

tours of duty in Iraq, plus one in Qatar, she’s found

serving her country is more than a job. It’s in her blood. But she still takes pride in getting back to her roots

when she visits her family farm in Minnesota Lake.

Her family raises soybeans and corn. And they practice responsible, ethical agriculture for life. It’s The R.E.A.L. Story. And while soybeans are now our state’s most valuable agriculture export, we’d like to salute another valuable export that was raised right on a Minnesota farm.
