Minnesota is one of the nation's top pork producing states, with several of the state's hog producers in leadership roles. Dale Stevermer, who farms near Easton, serves on the National Pork Board. He joined the Linder Farm Network to talk about some of the checkoff priorities. 

Minnesota soybean farmers contribute to the soybean checkoff, which works to develop markets and support research efforts to enhance soybean productivity and profitability. The Minnesota Soybean Research & Promotion Council is made up of elected farmers who direct the investment of those funds. Gail Donkers of Faribault is one of those grower leaders. She joins this Field Talk podcast.
