South Dakota farmer Lewis Bainbridge says he’s waiting for high oleic soybeans to be approved in foreign markets. The United Soybean Board director tells Brownfield growth of high oleic soybeans, genetically enhanced to produce healthier cooking oil, is limited at the moment by pending approval overseas.
“We have the ability to grow it if we can just get the [import] approval,” Bainbridge told Brownfield Ag News from the United Soybean Board meeting in Charleston, South Carolina Thursday.
