After several efforts over the years to designate a state soil the Minnesota Association of Professional Soil Scientists (MAPSS) and others have been successful in getting the legislature to designate Lester as the state soil (named for Lester Prairie). It is a loamy soil in glacial till areas of the state, and it supports the production of corn and soybeans. Found in 17 Minnesota counties Lester encompasses about 600,000 acres of land in the state.
