Bushels Beat Hunger Challenge
Cargill Soybean Processing Facility Organizes Soybean Grower Donations Made March 2-27
Soybean yields are often a source of friendly competitions, but hungry people are going to be the real winners of a new “Tri-State Bushels Beat Hunger Challenge.” Sioux City area soybean growers are about to see whether its Iowa, Nebraska or South Dakota that is No. 1 at putting soy protein to work feeding the hungry in America and overseas.
Sioux City area soybean growers are urged to participate in the “Tri-State Bushels Beat Hunger Challenge” by donating five (5) cents per bushel of soybeans as they deliver to the Cargill Sioux City Soybean Processing facility between March 2 and 27, 2009. Proceeds will go to the Soy for Life Foundation for domestic programs as well as the World Soy Foundation, which works to alleviate hunger overseas. Cargill is organizing the challenge and will collect farmer donations. In addition, Cargill will award $500 to an area food bank in recognition of the winning state soybean organizations.
