Soybean acreage rising for new plantings nationwide
The department of agriculture says soybeans suit the same soil and climate as corn. To offset fat and oil import losses from the Far East, American farmers are urged to raise half again as many acres as last year. County agricultural agents assist farmers new to soybeans in seed selection. Soybeans yield versatile uses including bean oil for paint and other products.
