Let’s Learn About Beans!

Beans event promo

In our bean-themed professional development session, we demonstrated lessons for all grade levels that not only explored Minnesota grown beans (soybeans, pinto beans, kidney beans, and more!) but also investigated how beans are used in Minnesota, the US and the world.

MAITC joined Joe Smentek from the Minnesota Soybean Growers Association, Shane Frederick from the Specialty Soya and Grains Alliance, and Mitch Coulter from the Northarvest Bean Growers Association to share specific examples of how, where, and why Minnesota beans are traded and exported around the world.
