Greater Mankato is the heart of the GreenSeam, a 28-county region in Southern Minnesota and Northern Iowa that is the most productive ag-dependent regions in the country. To Greater Mankato, ag means much more than farming. An entire production line supports and depends on the agricultural economy. Greater Mankato Growth has made agriculture a focus and in 2016 helped found an organization, named for the region, called غرين سيم, which conducts ag focused economic development, advocacy, and talent development.
Agriculture is our primary target industry as it bleeds into all other target industries. Mankato is a world leader in soybean processing with more soybeans processed in Mankato than in any other community in the nation. Greater Mankato’s manufacturing, food processing, transportation, distribution, finance, and insurance industries all grow through the success of our ag economy.
