The soybean processing industry continues its growth as demand for biofuels rise. Louis Dreyfus recently announced plans to break ground on a facility in Upper Sandusky, Ohio in early 2024.
Steve Reinhard is vice chair of the United Soybean Board and farms in Bucyrus, Ohio, about 20 miles east of the new plant. He tells Brownfield this is good news for farmers in his area. “We’ve had increasing soybean yields over the last several years and I think this is going to be a good thing to help alleviate some of the basis struggles we’ve had,” he says.
