Ohio Soybean Quality

 

High Quality, High Protein

Ohio soybeans are consistently among the highest-quality soybeans grown in the United States, and year after year, Ohio soybeans tend to be higher in protein than other states because of favorable climate and soil quality.  As a result, Ohio is a consistent supplier of high-quality commodity soybeans and non-GMO soybeans.

Consistent Supply of non-GMO Soybeans

Ohio is an excellent source of non-GMO soybeans for food uses and for processing into non-GMO vegetable oil.  According to a 2011 USDA study, Ohio had the highest percentage of non-GMO soybeans among major U.S. soybean producing states - 15% of the Ohio soybean crop was non-GMO, compared with 3% in Iowa, 4% in Indiana, 3% in Nebraska and 2% in South Dakota.

And there are many different food grade and other non-GMO soybean varieties available from Ohio producers. 

Preferred Provider

For many years, Ohio-grown soybeans have been preferred in Japan for tofu, soy milk, miso and other soy foods.  High protein, consistent bean size and non-GMO purity are among the reasons for this success.
