Biodiesel Works Because higher biodiesel demand means more beans in the crusher, biodiesel helps to keep the cost of soybean meal down for poultry and livestock farmers. During a five-year period, biodiesel demand has saved animal ag farmers $4.8 billion in soybean meal costs while adding 74 cents per bushel to the bottom line of soybean farmers. Biodiesel works. And thanks to farmer support and the soy checkoff, its success continues to grow. www.UnitedSoybean.org
