Driving Soy: Marshall County farmers treading new ground with tire donation to sheriff’s department

Marshall County farmers and their soybean checkoff dollars are giving back to local first responders this summer – and promoting the diverse uses of soybeans at the same time.

The Marshall County Soybean – Corn Board joined the Minnesota Soybean Research & Promotion Council (MSR&PC) and its 44 organized counties by utilizing Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company’s line of soy-oil tires to spotlight value-added products while also supporting law enforcement agencies in their communities.

Each organized county (Minnesota is the only state to support county-level soybean programs) has the opportunity to donate a full set of Goodyear’s soy-based Eagle Enforcer All Weather tires – designed specifically for first responder vehicles traversing rugged climates like Minnesota’s – to their county sheriff’s office.

“The Marshall County Sheriff’s Office is happy to accept the donation of 4 Goodyear soy-based Eagle Enforcer All Weather tires. We are happy to partner with the MN Soybean Research and Promotion Council exploring new options to keep our deputies safe while protecting the citizens of Marshall County, “ said Jason Boman, Marshall County Sheriff.
