The big game at US Bank Stadium in Minneapolis is just over two months away, which means the countdown is also on until the Land O’Lakes Farm Bowl!
As a cooperative, our participation in the Super Bowl Host Committee helps us take advantage of high-profile opportunities to share our story with an audience that doesn’t know us or understand much about modern farming. Farm Bowl is all about elevating the story of modern agriculture and Land O’Lakes’ position as an innovative leader to new audiences of customers and consumers.
