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.

Video: R3 Corn Growth Stage Explained: Why Late-Season Tissue Sampling Matters

Corn pollination may be behind us, but the work isn't over.

In this field update from the Nutrien Innovation Farm in Champaign, Illinois, agronomist Tim Sickman discusses why growers should stay engaged with field scouting during the R3 (milk) stage of corn development. While favorable weather, strong pollination, and early grain fill are encouraging signs, important questions about crop nutrition and yield potential still remain.

Tim explains: What the R3 corn growth stage looks like

Why successful pollination isn't the finish line

The importance of late-season field scouting

How tissue sampling can identify nutrient deficiencies

The role of sulfur, zinc, potassium, and other nutrients during grain fill

Using tissue analysis to improve future fertility management plans

As corn moves through grain fill, understanding nutrient availability and plant health can provide valuable insights for maximizing yield potential and planning for next season.
