Producers sell soybeans as soybeans yet buyers buy soybeans as soybean meal and soybean oil.
The objective of this web site is to increase soybean value transparency so producers begin to consider the protein and oil content of varieties planted. The soybean processing industry has not established market incentives to guide variety selection based on component value, but with new genetically engineered seeds, compositional value will drive all producer seed selection. This calculator is offered to the public as an incentive and resource to learn more about the changes taking place in agriculture as it moves into the knowledge age.
