Three ways farmers can use data to meet demands for sustainability

Soy consumers around the world are increasingly focused on how soybeans are grown. Farmers looking to demonstrate their sustainability as a way to increase soy demand may find an ally in their data. Information that farmers routinely gather can support their case. Here are three ways to make data work for you.
