  • @ohreallyandwhyisthat Also, regarding the 95% used for feed..

    I only really know what the soybean industry is like in the Canadian prairie provinces and northern Iowa, and N and S Dakota. I can't speak for the rest haha

    The amount of conventional ( for human use ) beans grown has dropped to roughly 5% of the total beans grown in the aforementioned areas.

    With only a textbook to learn with, all you have is old information for who know's what kind of sources. :-)

    anyway.. I like the video

  • @allgoo19 Sources would basically be that I live in a farming community and have manged the largest soybean crusher in my province. Other then that... well I could just google till i find a number I like and call it a fact ... but I prefer common sense ;)

    Basically what I was getting at is that you have used a couple of assumptions that are not always correct.

    Regarding "10 times" -- land used for grazing is NOT suitable for growing crops and the land required by a feedlot is not that big.

  • @ohreallyandwhyisthat

    "10 times" This is a very generalized number.."

    Google, "Supporting Sustainability Soybean"

    What info. do you have that against this?

    "probably 95% or more of the total soybean production is used as feed "

    Source?

    Even if it's true, what this got to do with protein production efficiency?

    Without data to back it up, all you got left is your personal belief.

  • @allgoo19

    "10 times" This is a very generalized number. If you are referring to cattle grazing land ( pasture ), then you need to realize that 9 times out of 10 pasture land is land that would be unsuitable for growing productive crops. Also, probably 95% or more of the total soybean production is used as feed for livestock. But if you want to eat that stuff that is totally fine with me!

  • You can produce 10 times more protein by growing soybeans from the same size of land needed for live stock farm.(Wiki) It doesn't produce carbon dioxcide as a biproduct but consume it. Far more earth friendly.

    Soybean industry has a future. Eat edamame, tofu, natto, miso, vege burger and use soy sauce.

  • thats unreal...they dont make em like that in Ireland haha id love to go out and work ther!!

  • Very Nice Video!

  • Nice view!

  • yield? location?
