U.S. Soy Advantage Unpacked In Updated Quality Manual and Analysis For Soybean Products In The Feed Industry

U.S. Soybean Export Council (USSEC), with support from the United Soybean Board, releases third edition quality manual to serve as a roadmap to analyses at all stages of the soy supply chain in the feed industry.

Soybeans are one of the most valuable crops in the world, contributing increasing amounts of high-quality oil and protein to human and animal diets. Among global soy origins, U.S. Soy has an excellent amino acid content and amino acid profile, increased metabolizable energy content due to higher sugar levels, lower fiber content and improved amino acid digestibility, higher total phosphorus content, and greater uniformity of nutrients.

Worldwide, soybean production has increased steadily over the past decades. This increase in production brings a heightened need for quality control and standardized analyses. Enter the Quality Manual and Analysis for Soybean Products in the Feed Industry.

The recently released third edition of this quality manual hits every stop along the soy value chain, from the crusher to the compounder and from the plant quality operator to the nutritionist.

What insect threats are Minnesota corn growers facing, and what research is helping farmers stay ahead of them?

At the 2026 MN Ag Expo, University of Minnesota entomologist Fei Yang shared updates on three Minnesota Corn-supported research projects focused on insect monitoring, seed treatments, and pest resistance.

Current work includes statewide monitoring programs that use pheromone, light, and sticky traps to track key pests such as black cutworm, true armyworm, corn earworm, European corn borer, and corn rootworm. Researchers are also evaluating whether high-rate seed treatments provide effective corn rootworm control and studying the development of resistance in European corn borer populations to Bt corn traits.

These projects help researchers better understand pest pressures across Minnesota and provide farmers with practical information to support informed management decisions.
