JOHNSTON, Iowa — Consumer and food industry demand for healthier cooking oils continues to rise, and Pioneer® brand Plenish® high oleic soybeans offer farmers a profitable way to meet this need. In 2022, the processor-paid premiums on these specialty soybeans will significantly exceed 2021 premiums. Additionally, Pioneer is excited to announce a new agreement with Cargill that will increase the number of draw areas for Plenish soybeans in Midwest soybean states.
“Premiums are more attractive than ever for growers who plant Plenish high oleic soybeans,” said Roger Theisen, Plenish Soybeans Marketing Manager, Pioneer. “For example, if a grower typically hits 65-bushels-per-acre and can net a $0.75-cent premium on top of whatever current soybean prices are, that means nearly $50.00 more in potential profit per acre.”
Through identity-preserved contracting programs, growers of Plenish soybeans receive a processor-paid premium for growing and segregating high oleic soybeans. And more growers are capitalizing on it. According to the United Soybean Board, high oleic soybean acres are expected to grow to 1 million nationally in 2022, up from around 600,000 acres in 2021. Plenish soybeans are planted on most of those acres.
Processors and participating elevators make the delivery of Plenish soybeans as similar as possible to commodity soybeans. The 2022 supply chain for Plenish soybeans now has six contract processors with delivery locations in most of the major soybean-growing states.
“Growers can expect to get the same elite genetics, agronomic characteristics, defensive traits and yield performance from varieties of Plenish soybeans as they would with Pioneer varieties of commodity soybeans,” Theisen said. “This is a great opportunity for growers to expand their options and differentiate their income.”
Additional program details are available from local Pioneer sales representatives or at Pioneer.com/Plenish.
