For as long as farmers have put seed in the ground, they’ve taken proactive measure to ensure the long-term viability of the practice. But not like today. Not like today’s Michigan soybean farmers, who are part of a galvanizing sustainability revolution.
According to the Michigan Soybean Promotion Committee, soybean farm sustainability is achieved through operational excellence in three key areas:
Economic Sustainability: Growing soybeans in a fashion that is profitable and can be replicated year after year.
Social Sensitivity: Paying close attention to the impact of farm practices on surrounding neighbors and the communities in which the farm operates.
Environmental Stewardship: Considering the environmental impact of each farming practice and improving those practices as appropriate.
