and recover more beans – at least a bushel an acre. With the price of the beans, that’s close to $15,000 more in beans with this header.”

update on the National sustainable soybean Initiative

Progress continues on a grower-led program that will help meet market demands, according to Shawn Conley, University of Wisconsin (UW-Madison) Soybean Specialist.

Earlier this year, the UW-Madison was awarded a grant for this program that will eventually allow U.S. soybean farmers to maximize global utilization of U.S. soy in the feed, food, industrial and energy markets.

Currently, organizers are working in Wisconsin, Minnesota, Illinois, Indi-ana, Michigan and Ohio to identify and survey farmers who can provide valuable input. The objective of this study is to provide all segments of the soybean value chain including the producers, processors, manufacturers,

retailers, end users and consumers with a method for documenting and verifying progress along the sustain-ability continuum.

A similar program was developed by the UW-Madison for food process-ing potatoes and vegetables, called Healthy Farms, that created a network of farmers, food processors and end users.

“We want to build a similar program that will be grower and producer driven, research-based, crop and re-gionally appropriate and able to verify progress in all components of sustain-ability, environmental, economic and social aspects,” says Conley.

The framework will be developed in collaboration with the existing

network of national and state soybean commodity organizations.

“Our goal is to address the desired United Soybean Board position for sustainability within a global context; engage the value chain in this effort, and create possibility for documented continual improvement with a scien-tific basis,” Conley says.

The program is a key component of the USDA priority for Global Food Security and we will work with our national network to develop a Nation-al Institute for Food and Agriculture proposal to implement a framework for sustainability that will be ap-plicable to a broad range of soybean cropping systems nationally.
