Nominate your health care hero This summer, Minnesota soybean farmers are stepping up and saluting frontline workers by donating pairs of soy-based Skechers shoes to local health care facilities. As a bonus feature, the Minnesota Soybean Research & Promotion Council is also encouraging community members to nominate a health care worker who is most deserving of a free pair of shoes. Nominations will be accepted from June 1 through August 4.
