Iowa seeks new outlets for farm products study
The Iowa Development Commission announced a fifth project under the Agricultural Products Utilization Program to study the market size for refined soybean oil from Iowa facilities. Illinois Institute of Technology will conduct the four month study at about 10508 dollars, as Iowa soybean production climbs from 66 million bushels in 1960 to 110 million in 1963. If market data look favorable, Iowa hopes to attract refining facilities. Other projects include meat packing, sugar beet–soybean oil plant development, adhesives and polymers from corn, and low tint cheese varieties.
