Speaking Out on Quality
“The only way we can effectively address current market demands, as well as maintain our competitive position in the global market is through a united soybean industry front. Recognizing that fact, soybean checkoff farmer-leaders created QUALISOY, a coalition with all parts of the soybean value chain committed to developing and commercializing enhanced compositional traits that add value to U.S. soybeans.”
David Durham, Past QUALISOY Chairman, Missouri soybean farmer

“I planted 1 percent linolenic soybeans last year because I wanted to grow what the market is demanding, a healthier soybean and a healthier oil. I am planting the 1 percent linolenic variety again this year through Asoyia, with a premium potential of an extra dollar a bushel, which more than makes up for any yield drag. Asoyia’s program is connecting the farmer more closely to the consumer with the processor as a cooperator. And QUALISOY is promoting the low-lin soybean oil, which is positive for farmers looking to add more value to their crop.”
David Schmidt, Iowa soybean farmer

"Low-linolenic varieties are the soybean solution to the trans-fat issue."
