Whether here at home or across our borders and overseas, improving market access for biotech, conventional and identity-preserved U.S. soy will impact our ability to meet the growing need for soy. Improved market access could also determine what kind of future will exist for your sons and daughters and others who will make up future generations of U.S. soybean farmers.
