Through your checkoff dollars we promote soybeans and the many uses for this renewable resource.
Many products made from soybeans can be found at www.soynewuses.org. |
Children at a Haitian orphanage are no longer limited to playing on a mud field or concrete thanks to a partnership between SYNLawn Michigan and award-winning author Mitch Albom. Instead, they are now enjoying green soy-backed artificial grass. Learn more about this exciting project here.

Goodyear’s use of soybean oil is another example of the power of partnerships between the soybean checkoff and innovative companies that count on U.S. soybeans for performance and sustainability.
As one of the world’s largest tire companies, Goodyear has increased its 2020 usage of soybean oil by 73% over 2018 usage, making progress toward its long-term goal of full petroleum oil replacement in its products by 2040.

Soybeans are used in a wide variety of foods for humans and animals, as well as for industrial and consumer products such as building materials, lubricants and other household items. Learn about those soy-based options in the Soy Products Guide.
Animal Feed
Poultry and livestock feed makes up 97 percent of soybean meal used in the U.S. In Michigan, poultry and hogs are the largest consumers of soybean meal.
Food for Human Consumption
The other 3 percent of soybean meal used in the U.S. is in food products like protein alternatives and soymilk. Oil used for food accounts for 61 percent of soybean oil used in the U.S. This oil can be used as vegetable oil for frying or baking, and as an ingredient in foods like salad dressings and margarines. Soy also appears in products like soy sauce, breakfast cereals and bars, and some beverages and whipped toppings. For more information on foods containing soy, check out the Soy Nutrition Institute.
Industrial Uses
Soybean oil used for industrial purposes accounts for 7 percent of soybean oil used in the U.S. This oil is converted into products like paints, plastics and cleaners. The USDA Biobased program has a complete list of industrial products containing soybeans.
Biodiesel
Biodiesel makes up more than 30 percent of soybean oil used in the U.S. Biodiesel is a renewable substitute for petroleum diesel made from soybean oil. The fuel reduces greenhouse gas emissions, increases energy efficiency and provides a 13 percent price support for soybeans. Learn more about biodiesel from the National Biodiesel Board.
