Illinois doesn’t stand out on the global stage just because it is the number one soybean state in the nation. Illinois stands out for the unique advantages it, and its soybean farmers, offer.

Selling soybeans to buyers is more than just a handshake. It is a relationship that builds over time with the mutual understanding of the demand of the buyer and the need of the grower. The Illinois Soybean Association is continually working to increase relationships with international buyers to sell more Illinois soybeans.

In an effort to gauge farmer understanding and ultimately build relationships with international customers to impact farmer profitability, Illinois Soybean Association has just completed a trade & exports farmer survey.
