Page 30 2024 Logan County Spring Farm Magazine LINCOLN DAILY NEWS March 2024 the Illinois Soybean Association invites global buyers to Illinois farms annually, showing them how farmers like me raise soybeans in environmentally conscious ways. Here to Stay A less-than-positive outlook on commodity prices is never pleasant, especially heading into planting. Still, for soybean farmers like me, there’s still much to appreciate about the role soybeans play in our local, state, regional and global economies. As farmers, we work to raise high-quality products that feed and fuel the world and organizations like the Illinois Soybean Association work to ensure we have places to sell our products, ensuring soybeans are here to stay, supporting families like mine this year and for many years to come.
