A group that represents a soybean trading company that exports soybeans to the Philippines visited an Amboy farm on Monday.
The Dusty Riley farm was the first stop on their tour, visiting and learning about farms around Minnesota, which the group says is pivotal in ensuring that their customers back home are well educated on the crop.
The Riley farm has hosted such visits in the past, primarily due to raising both soybeans and pigs, showing how the two sustain one another by producing natural fertilizer.
The visit was organized, in part, by the Minnesota Soybean Research and Promotion Council, which notes that the Philippines is the biggest importer of U.S. soybean meal.
