Farmers Bill Wiley Lyndon and Russ Sylvester witnessed the unveiling of the American Soybean Association’s SoyMark trademark. The green and yellow logo signals soybean oil content for products like margarine cooking oil and bread with at least 80 percent seed oil from soybeans.

Angell optimistic about trade balance at Kansas City meeting
Federal Reserve governor Wayne Angell told the Kansas Livestock Association Summer Conference that the 1990s would be a decade of strength for the U.S. economy as exports grow faster than imports. He predicted inflation under 2 percent, lower long-term rates, and no recession if policy remains stable, while urging free trade and less government intervention in agriculture. U.S. Sen. Nancy Kassebaum echoed that inflation is under control and a recession is unlikely. National Cattlemen’s Association President Bob Josserand urged broader industry support on environment, animal rights, and food safety issues.
