When it comes to the global soy market, there are many things that Minnesota soybean farmer, Jamie Beyer, cannot control. Fortunately, building relationships and demand with buyers abroad is not one of them. She recently attended an industry event in Southeast Asia to meet the end users who buy U.S. Soy and show them that she wants to produce a product that meets their demands. She discusses the impact of casual conversations with buyers from Myanmar.
