EVANSVILLE, Wis. (RFD News) — A new soybean crush plant is headed to Wisconsin, bringing a new source of local demand for the state’s soybean growers.
Tanner Johnson with the Wisconsin Soybean Association called the CHS project a “game changer.”
“We’re the last of the Upper Midwest states to get a crush plant. Some of our neighbors have two or three or more crush plants. It’s going to be such a unique dynamic, replacing the demand on exports to China and other maybe tumultuous export markets. We’re keeping our soybeans growing right here in Wisconsin at home. We’re going to be crushing them locally down in Evansville. That oil is going to go into biodiesel and other uses and increase demand locally. That’s huge. It’s a win, win, win, honestly.”
The plant will also produce soybean meal, with officials hoping to see it open sometime in 2028.
