Mar. 27, 2023 Agri-Pulse reports: Washington - Discovering new markets for soybean products can spark demand for U.S. soybeans. New research shows how soybean feeding values are about much more than crude protein and how it can create future opportunities for soybean farmers, especially those in northern U.S. states. Released during the upcoming April 5 Agri-Pulse webinar, "Uncovering soybean export potential," will be the results from new market research about soy quality aspects that international buyers are seeking. "This webinar is your first opportunity to hear the research results on soybean feeding values," says Agri-Pulse Editor Sara Wyant. "The research looks at buyers' perceptions on the importance of critical amino acid values found in soybeans and how it could create new marketing opportunities for foreign markets." The webinar is free, but registration is required. It takes place at 2 p.m. central time and is sponsored by Northern Soy Marketing. You can sign up by clicking on this link.

Seth Naeve, Ph.D., is a soybean agronomist with the University of Minnesota and is an associate professor in the Department of Agronomy and Plant Genetics. His efforts are split between a soybean production/physiology research project and extension activities. Naeve's research program focuses on the development of novel strategies for the efficient production of high-quality soybeans. This includes analyzing genetic, environmental and cultural effects on soybean seed quality (oil, protein, fatty acid, amino acid and carbohydrate composition) and researching management strategies to maximize production efficiencies.
