The first written record of soybean cultivation is from China in 2838 B.C. The Chinese farmers who grew
this legume fed it to their families as well as to their livestock. From China, cultivation of soybeans spread
into Japan, Korea, and throughout Southeast Asia. Soybeans were introduced in Europe in 1712.
Soybeans arrived in America in the early 1800’s. Today, more soybeans are grown in the United
States that anywhere else in the world.Soybeans can be found in a wide variety of products, ranging from
tofu, soy milk and soy sauce to plywood, particle board, printing inks, soap, candy products, cosmetics,
and antibiotics.
The boom in the use of soybean meal for livestock feed began in the 1950’s. Today, American
livestock - poultry, beef, swine & dairy cattle - consume about 22.5 million tons of soybean meal a year.
