International soybean buyers will soon have a first-hand look at Illinois farms across the state when farmers meet for the Global Trade Exchange conference later this month.

According to Rachel Peabody, Director of Communications for the Illinois Soybean Association, the conference brings hundreds of soybean buyers worldwide. Additionally, the conference offers one-on-one dialogue with farmers about their cash crops.

The conference is from August 24th through the 26th in St. Louis. All attendees are required to be vaccinated.
