What Minnesota Agri-Growth Council Inc does
Mission
The mission of the minnesota agri-growth council is to advocate for minnesota's food and agriculture industry by serving as a unified voice and promoting relationships with allied industries.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
On its FY2025 return the organization reported a significant change in how it conducts a program.
We reformatted and restructured our annual fall summit to better reflect the needs and expectations of our membership and stakeholders.
Its own explanation, from Schedule O of that return (Part III, line 3).
Repositioned and strengthened agrigrowth's role as a strategic partner and convener to address complex issues facing agriculture and food issues in minnesota. Conducted a two-day bus tour to help educate decision-makers on the current state of minnesota's food and farm economy. Kicked off a multi-year effort to develop a vision and priorities for minnesota's food and farm economy in 2040.
Our 2025 ag & food summit successfully convened ag and food stakeholders across the midwest. The event was restructured and formatted, resulting in attendance up nearly 20% from the previous year. Operating losses were also reduced, making the event nearly break even.
The 2 programs described on its FY2025 Form 990, listed largest first by expense.
The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2020, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2020, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2024 to 2025, from $89k to $198k (+123%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 3 of the last 6 reported years ran a deficit.

Leadership and staff
The officers, directors, trustees and key employees listed on each return. Joined and no longer listed compare each filing with the year before, matching people by surname and first initial; a year after a gap, or a roster under three people, has no comparison.
