That just means more soybeans for the US, and because supply and demand is still an economic principal, the price will go way down.
/s hahahaa they’re gonna burn them instead of selling them cheaper.
I wonder if soybeans can be turned into ethanol.

Soybean oil can be transesterified with an alcohol (usually methanol) in the presence of a catalyst to make fatty acid methyl esters (FAME) or “biodiesel.”
