In a recent study, researchers from the European Environmental Bureau (EEB), the Stockholm School of Economics (SSE), and the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK) questioned the planned development of new nuclear capacities in the energy strategies of the United States and certain Eur...
it's crazy how much i've learned about soybeans, and never bothered to look into the numbers on corn. you'll forgive me if i look for my own sources though.
While some of the crop is used directly, more than 85 percent is further processed through crushing into soybean meal and oil. Soybean meal is typically used as an animal feed for its protein content
The meal is the main revenue source and the reason it's grown.
meal is the majority of the weight of the soybean, but oil is about half the value of the soybean while only being 20% of the weight. they don't process soybeans in meal presses: it's processed in oil presses.
what is fed to animals is the industrial waste from the oil processing. which is the comment i made that started your namecalling. i will accept an apology, but i will not tolerate any more insults.
Most of the revenue is the meal. Nobody would grow it for the oil.
Almost half of the oil is used for biodeisel. So even if it were exclusively for the oil (a lie) getting rid of 40% and getting rid of the meat would do more than green fertizer
Also all an attempt at distraction because humans could eat a plant grown there.
i think it's great that you cited a source that shows even as markets fluctuate over time, soybean oil punches far above its weight every year in the value of the crop.
