The United Soybean Board, through the Soy Checkoff, is continuously exploring innovative ways to boost domestic demand for U.S.-grown soybeans. One promising opportunity is to incorporate high-oleic soybeans into the diets of dairy cattle, providing a high-quality feed ingredient that supports herd health and milk production. By leveraging the benefits of high-oleic soy, the Soy Checkoff is helping to create new market opportunities while delivering value to both soybean and dairy farmers.
Iowa farmer Rob Ewoldt, a member of the United Soybean Board Executive Committee, highlights the potential of high-oleic soybeans as a valuable feed option for dairy cattle. He emphasizes how this initiative can benefit both soybean growers and dairy farmers by creating a sustainable, domestic market for U.S. soy.
Ewoldt talks about how the bean roasting process would be done.
Right now, the plan is on a three-year rollout. Some seed companies are looking to provide the beans to make this happen, but they still in the regulatory process.
