NSRL Specialty Soybean and Corn Surveys

Pdf versions of two new NSRL publications about the trends in specialty soybean and corn markets are now available on-line. Marketing research funded by the Illinois Soybean Association was designed to help growers better understand the business of creating and capturing more value from grain and oilseed differentiation. The articles discuss the Corn and Soybean markets as part of a specialty soybean and corn survey. Pdf versions can be viewed using Adobe Reader (software available for free download from Adobe).
