In addition to these funds, the CFS Foundation will contribute approximately $92,000 this year to local organizations.

Join the Children’s Museum of Southern Minnesota on June 1 for Ag Education
Day. Ag is so relevant in our region, but many children only “see” it from a bus window. This FREE
Museum day gives a hands-on opportunity to explore, learn, and ask questions about the importance
of agriculture in our everyday life. Teaching children about agriculture at a young age can help
them start recognizing how it impacts the world around them and can help them learn other important
aspects about life.

With that, we gave up yesterday’s gains on old crop and put in some new lows on December corn.
