Officials from Taiwan and the Iowa Soybean Association gathered in the Iowa Capitol today for a ceremony to celebrate Taiwan’s agreement to buy $1.5 billion worth of U.S. soybeans over the next 24 months.
“Today’s announcement by our Taiwanese trading partners to increase purchases of U.S. soybeans is welcome news,” said Iowa Soybean Association president-elect Tim Bardole of Rippey. “As an Iowa soybean farmer, I can say firsthand that we need some good news.”
