MADISON, Wis. (WRN) — Wisconsin’s soybean farmers should look to expand the use of their beans next year.
That message from State Agriculture Secretary Randy Romanski, who says one option could be ethanol production.
“We can proudly say that we support homegrown renewable energy through ethanol. And you know, there’s lots of opportunity out there for using soybeans in a different way and that could be, you know, home grown renewable energy as well,” Romanski said.
Romanski says farmers need to keep an open mind on what they plan to do with their fields, and that there’s help available from the state for farm planning as well as management assistance. Just head to datcp.wi.us or contact your county farm office for more information.
