Wisconsin Corn-Soy Expo is growing

The popularity of the Wisconsin Corn-Soy Expo continues to grow. A joint effort of the Wisconsin Corn Growers, Wisconsin Soybean Association and Wisconsin Pork Association has drawn record-attendance this year around 1,700.  Bob Karls is Executive Director of the Wisconsin Soybean Association and the Wisconsin Soybean Board, he says the appeal of the trade show, the seminars, the speakers and the annual association meetings makes the show.

He says the increasing soybean acreage in Wisconsin has resulted in increased membership in his association. He is optimistic about the future as research finds new and better ways to grow soybeans while domestic and export demand grows.

Karls talks about the show:

 

Low commodity prices are proving to be a challenge for growers. Wisconsin Corn Growers Association president Brian Long says they knew the high prices would not last and now the focus is on weathering the storm.

Corn-Soy Expo runs through 4 pm Friday at Kalahari in Wisconsin Dells.
