As high oleic soybeans become more available in Wisconsin, growers are interested in how these soybeans can improve the economics on their farm. Local markets commercially selling these soybeans at a premium price are developing, as much of the interest in high oleic soybeans in Wisconsin is centered around the dairy feed industry.  

High oleic soybeans have a fatty acid profile that allows higher feeding rates without depressing milkfat production compared to conventional soybeans. This means more ingredients for the ration can potentially be produced on the farm, reducing feed costs for dairies.
