Optimal nutritional bundle. Better animal performance. Maximum value.

The ultimate value of soybean meal is measured by more than just crude protein. This value varies by country of origin. U.S. soybean meal provides the highest quality and most sustainable option on the market with its comprehensive nutritional bundle comprised of four key drivers.

Ultimately, this combination delivers better soybean meal, resulting in improved feed formulation consistency, better animal performance and superior overall value to your bottom line. See the proof below.

Nutritional Bundle Key Drivers

  • Whole soybean quality
  • Consistency
  • Amino acid profile
  • Energy content

Soybean Value Calculator

The Soybean Value Calculator is an innovative tool that enables soybean crushers to calculate and compare the economic value of crushing soybeans from different origins. Customers should enter data specific to their facility or experience, along with composition and physical factor data of whole soybeans, to analyze the estimated total benefit of U.S. Soy relative to other origins.

U.S. Soy Crop Quality Report 2023

How did U.S. Soy quality measure up in 2023? Despite weather conditions, U.S. Soy farmers delivered a high quality, and sustainably produced crop. Explore the U.S. Soy Crop Quality Report 2023 including a look at amino acid profiles and soluble sugars.

Summary:

  • A severe and chronic drought affected soybean production across most of the major U.S. soybean producing States in 2023.
  • Despite exceedingly challenging production environments, U.S. Soy farmers are estimated to produce a crop averaging 3.3 MT per ha. (~50 bushels per acre).
  • Average composition of the crop is very similar to 2022.
  • One could consider this an ‘Oil Year.’
  • Weather conditions resulted in beans being drier than usual, leading to increased protein and oil yields per ton.
