Outsidepride Heirloom Soybean Seeds For Humans & Animals - 5 LBS

Soybeans (Glycine max KS 5004N) - This is an heirloom variety and an annual legume of the pea family which has edible seeds. The soybean is economically the most important bean in the world, providing vegetable protein for millions of people and ingredients for hundreds of chemical products. This is a high yield variety that has averaged a little over 3 bushel per acre more than the popular Manokin variety. KS 5004N has excellent adaptation to midwestern states and captures a large percentage of the non-GMO acres. For humans nearly all soybeans are processed for their oil. Soy processors take the raw soybeans and separate the oil from the meal. The oil may be refined for cooking and other edible uses, or sold for biodiesel production or industrial uses. The processors bake the high-protein fiber that is left after the oil is removed and sell it for animal feed. Soybean oil is used in cooking and frying foods. Margarine is a product made from soybean oil. Salad dressings and mayonnaises are made with soybean oil. The high-protein fiber which remains after processing has removed the oil is toasted and prepared into animal feed for poultry, pork, cattle, other farm animals and pets. Planting Soybean Seeds: Space rows between 7.5 and 15 inches for maximum soybean yield. Seeds should be planted between 0.75 and 1.5 inches deep, depending on soil type and tillage. Seeds can be planted shallower in heavy soils, such as high-clay soils. Uniform seed placement promotes uniform emergence, which is better than staggered emergence that can result in plant competition. The exact pounds per acre depends on the width or rows and spacing of plants.
