Two South Dakota farmers say High Plains Processing, a new oilseed crush facility being built in Mitchell, will boost local commodity prices and encourage a more diverse crop mix.
Kevin Deinert, the president of the South Dakota Soybean Association from Mount Vernon, says more competition means a better soybean basis.
“Historically, we haven’t been real great in our area. We’ve had to ship a lot of our soybeans away and sometimes we’ve had to truck them 40 to 50 miles to an elevator that’s competitive,” says Deinert.
