Research that high-oleic soybeans can add value to the dairy farm’s feed ration is driving interest in states that haven’t traditionally grown high-oleic beans, says Adam Krull of Pioneer. He says in the past few years, the nutrition team has noticed more interest in Plenish soybeans, Pioneer's brand of high-oleic soybeans, among farms in dairy country beyond the traditional Corn Belt. Krull walks Mid-West Farm Report through some of the logistical hurdles in using high-oleic beans that ultimately result in on-farm success when it comes to milk fat and a cheaper feed ration ingredient. In 2023, Wisconsin farmers planted roughly 2,000 acres of Plenish beans. Pioneer estimates 10,000 acres will have Plenish in Wisconsin in 2024.
