The projects, all of which
are aimed at increasing
soybean producer profits by
finding new uses for
soybeans or reducing
production costs, arc funded

“A committee of soybean
researchers evaluated the
proposals and narrowed the
field to 24 projects they felt
were most worthy of fun

“Then the ASARF board,
made up of nine soybean
producers, made the final
selection of 17 projects for
funding based on the money
available to invest in
research activities,” he said.
Projects funded by
ASARF are basic research
activities that can be applied
to soybean production and
utilization anywhere in the
nation.
All projects submitted for
funding are reviewed by a

Linolemc acid is a natural

which causes spoilage and
off-flavor in unprocessed oil.
Linolemc acid is not a
problem m the U.S. because
of advanced processing
methods.
However, in many export
markets linolenic acid is a
major roadblock to in
creased sales since these
markets do not have ad

if so, the best means of
