Beltrami County Farm Bureau plans Ag Day Breakfast at fairgrounds
Pancakes, wagon rides and a swine showdown will turn the Beltrami County Fairgrounds into a farm showcase for the Farm Bureau’s Ag Day Breakfast.
Beltrami County Farm Bureau will fill the county fairgrounds with pancakes, berries, ice cream and a swine show when it hosts its Ag Day Breakfast from 9 a.m. to noon Sunday, June 28. The free-will offering event will run at Beltrami County Fairgrounds, 7223 Fairgrounds Rd. NW in Bemidji, in a county where USDA’s 2022 profile counted 608 farms and 194,832 acres of land in farms.
The breakfast menu also includes sausage, ham, coffee and juice, but the morning is built as a larger showcase for rural life. Organizers have lined up a silent auction, farm animals, children’s activities, live music, a beekeeper and horse-drawn wagon rides, with the Summer Swine Showdown scheduled to begin at 11 a.m.
The fairgrounds programming stretches beyond the food line. Demonstrations in the robotics building, open access to the Fire Tower and the Forestry Education Building, and a stop in Heritage Square put agriculture next to hands-on education, local history and county craftsmanship. Beltrami County Fair describes itself as a small rural county fair centered on agriculture and heritage, and its attractions page says Heritage Square is a hub for local artisans, crafters and authors.
The Farm Bureau has used the breakfast before to bring agriculture into public view. A 2021 post from the organization said volunteers were still smiling and sharing agriculture at the breakfast, and another post said the event included tractor safety discussions with youth and safety vests. That history shows the breakfast has served as both a fundraiser and an outreach day, with children and families moving through the same space where farm safety, livestock and local food all come together.
Minnesota Farm Bureau says it speaks for Minnesota agriculture and has more than 30,000 members in every county. At the Beltrami County fairgrounds, that mission lands in a place built around the county’s agricultural and heritage identity, with the breakfast giving residents a direct look at the people and work behind the food on their tables.
