Column: A sultry Saturday sans soybeans
The day of the Soybean Festival dawned grey and heavy. The thick air warned of thunderstorms. The night before, oblivious to the impending weather, I made plans for a full outdoor Saturday.

Column: A weekend to celebrate soy
This weekend, Farmington will be home to one of only three soybean festivals in the nation.

The soybean festival will be yet another distinction for our small city already crowned with the honors of the Dakota County Fair and Dew Days.May 21, 2010
