Soybean farmers hail plan to buy bio-based goods

The chairman of the Ohio Soybean Council told Brownfield Ag News that the Obama administration's plan to buy more bio-based products "will help get those green products from the lab to commercialization," Brownfield Network's Dave Russell reports.

“Our innovations are ongoing, we’ve got a great relationship with the Battelle Institute and they continue to find products to feed that pipeline,” John Motter said. “There’s a growing green industry in Ohio.”

"Two years ago, Ohio became the first state ever to create a statewide bio-based procurement program," Russell notes. It supports the Ohio BioProducts Innovation Center at Ohio State.
