The Minnesota Turkey Growers Association (MTGA) was formed in 1939 and has a long and rich history of representing the state’s turkey farmers. MTGA advocates for the industry through lobbying efforts, media relations, communications efforts and materials, website/social media and special projects. The wisdom gained from decades of experience is an incredible asset to MTGA members. MTGA members pay annual dues to join the organization, and in return, are eligible for a myriad of benefits. MTGA works side-by-side with the Minnesota Turkey Research & Promotion Council - formed as a checkoff-funded quasi-state government agency in 1965 - to provide complementary services. Since 1965, the MTRPC has worked diligently to encourage consumers to eat more turkey year-round, sponsor innovative turkey research in areas like turkey health and nutrition, and educate a variety of audiences about the benefits of turkey. All MTPRC programs are funded by a voluntary grower checkoff program, with oversight by the Minnesota Department of Agriculture. MTRPC is the oldest checkoff-funded commodity organization in the state of Minnesota.

Additionally, representatives from the Minnesota Department of Agriculture, Minnesota Department of Natural Resources, Minnesota Board of Animal Health, and Minnesota Pollution Control Agency are coming to meet with the growers.

Live aMPV vaccine in hand! The first ever importation of live metapneumovirus vaccine is not only a milestone, but a true testimant to the team at Vaxxinova. Well done. Metapneumovirus, aka Swollen Head Syndrome, has been devastating to our US poultry market, and this vaccine will be a fundamental tool in keeping the virus under control. Stop by our booth at IPPE this week for more information and availability.

We’re excited to see Minnesota well-represented at this year’s National Turkey Federation Convention in Scottsdale, Arizona! Here’s a great shot of about 80% of the Minnesotans in attendance, including our very own MTGA Executive Director, Ashley Kohls. They’re connecting with fellow turkey growers, sharing best practices, and bringing fresh ideas back to benefit our members and the entire Minnesota turkey community. Way to go, team! #MinnesotaTurkey #NTFConvention #TurkeyFarming #ProudToBeMTGA
SAVE THE DATE!!! Minnesota Turkey Growers and other poultry producers head to the Minnesota State Capitol on Wednesday, February 26th, 2025. This is a member's only event where growers will interact with state agency leaders and representatives. This is your opportunity as a turkey grower to share your story and remind our representatives the Minnesota leads the nation in turkey production.
We are excited to share USDA's announcement that in addition to Vaxxinova, Zoetis and Boehringer Ingelheim are now approved to import MLV vaccines for aMPV. Approval to import these proven effective and safe vaccines has been a top priority for MTGA and National Turkey Federation since aMPV first started moving through the country.?
