Minnesota Beef “Prime Promoter of the Year” Award Presented

The Minnesota Beef Council is excited to announce that the 2018 Minnesota Beef “Prime Promoter of the Year” has been awarded to the Marshall County Agricultural Association. 

This award was presented at the 2018 Minnesota Cattle Industry Convention this past weekend during the awards banquet and dinner on Friday, December 7, at the Arrowwood Resort in Alexandria, Minnesota.

The Marshall County Agricultural Association prides themselves in promoting beef at their events throughout the year. Each year, they host a beef cook-off at their county fair where contestants cook prime rib using their own method of cooking, marinating and seasoning.

Besides their county fair beef cook-off event, the association purchases local beef to auction off in bundles during the AgBash, which is a fair fundraiser. The beef bundles include hamburger patties, beef roasts, chuck roasts and New York Strip. In addition, ribeye steaks are served for dinner.

The Marshall County Agricultural Association believes that agricultural education and tradition is vital to their community. 

They received a $500 award to be used for beef promotions throughout the coming year, as well as their name engraved on the “Prime Promoter of the Year” plaque.

If you or your local organization does an outstanding job promoting beef, please consider applying to be next year’s Minnesota Beef  “Prime Promoter of the Year.”
