Perdue Farms opened its first-large scale, commercial soybean processing plant in Lancaster, Pennsylvania on Monday.
Pennsylvania Governor Tom Wolf, Agriculture Secretary Russell Redding, and other local officials attended the opening of the soybean processing plant. It is one of the most efficient, technologically advances, and environmentally-friendly soybean processing plants available in the country.
The Lancaster soybean processing plant will increase the supply and distribution chain for agricultural products in the state. It will also boost the state’s soybean processing capacity, provide better prices, and increase demand for farmers’ soybean crops.
