Why is the Ohio Soybean Council focused on transportation?
U.S. Department of Agriculture figures show a $1 to $2 per bushel transportation impact on soybean prices, reducing U.S. soybean farmers’ revenue and harming the competitiveness of U.S. soybeans in domestic and international markets. The logistics of soybean distribution is becoming increasingly important to producers’ bottom lines. The Ohio Soybean Council will work with the Soy Transportation Coalition to identify national-level opportunities and address challenges related to transportation and logistics and to ensure that the future of the U.S. transportation system is effective and reliable for soybean farmers.
