SOYBEAN PRODUCTS IN GOOD
DEMAND

The future market for the soy
beans of the farmstead promises to
he exceptionally good because of the
many products in good demand
which may he made from or are
now being produced from the bean
crop. The marked success of soy
beans as an outstanding feed pro-
duCing crop has been but one of the
many potent factors which stimu-
lated the marked increase in soy
bean acreage throughout the ma
tion.
SOybean hay is now widely mar
vested to economic advantage in all
soybean growing areas. The grazing

method of harvesting as it was
couple decades ago, but even at that
probably about one tenth of the
acreage is still garnered as pasture,
particularly in the south eastern
states. The use of soybeans as
complimentary crop to corn. the
combination being ensiled, hogged
down, or "shceped off" is waning
because the combination cOrn-soy-
bean crop" practice has not proven
as profitable as once anticipated; on
the other hand the harvesting of
soybeans for seed has proven rela-
lively speaking, more and more
profitable throughout the years.
Several million bushels of soy
beans have been crushed for in
dustrial and food uses in recent |
years. The ready cashability of the |
harvested seed is a fruitful factor in |
the stimulation of the soybean |
growing interest which has resulted |
in a marked expansion of soybean |
acreage in many states of the mid
die west. the east. and the south. |
