What You Can Do
How your soybeans are transported from the field to the elevator and from the elevator to the end-user greatly affects your profitability. Improving transportation not only improves your bottom line, but also improves Illinois soybean quality. The Illinois soybean advantage comes in part from a dependable transportation infrastructure that allows for safe, clean, timely soybean delivery to our domestic and international customer.
The more you as a soybean farmer know about the transportation issues affecting your operation, the better equipped you will be to transport beans in the most cost-effective way. (See Soy Transportation Calculator.)
