Feed-Grade Soy Program Overview 

​​

This initiative invests in farmers first through paid data collection and traceable grain incentives. It also invests in processing and traceability systems that enable American farmers to compete in modern high-value markets. 

Most soybeans in the U.S. are processed far from point of production—or exported—leaving many farmers without access to nearby roasting, extrusion or crushing facilities. This program invests in U.S. infrastructure and aggregation models that enable farmers to produce and sell directly into feed markets with consistent demand– keeping feed dollars in the communities where soy is grown.
 

By partnering with buyers seeking verified U.S. supply, we connect production to consumer demand across retail and foodservice channels. This opens a powerful market reality for American farmers.

What is a Traceable Soybean?

Transform Ag is using mass balance (tons in and tons out) to trace soybeans from the field of production to consumers. 
 

What is a Verified Supply Chain Processor?

A Verified Processor is a buyer contracted by the Transform Ag Project to purchase, process and market traceable American soybeans—building localized market opportunities and strengthening supply chain integrity at every step.
 

How Will the Incentive Program Benefit Me and My Farm?

• Improved post-harvest value capture through traceability and food-grade processing

• Increased access to premium, traceable markets 

• Enhanced buyer interest and long-term offtake potential due to verified sourcing and traceability systems

​​​

Building a local, transparent supply chain is a core objective of the Transform Ag Project.
​​

Enrolled acres for the soybean supply chain project must be located within 500 miles of an eligible traceable processor in specific states. ​​
