For more than a half-century, the producer-led Missouri Soybean Association and Missouri Soybean Merchandising Council have worked to benefit soybean farmers across the Show-Me State. Watch as former and current board members recount the early days, the formation of the soybean checkoff for research and promotion, the birth of biodiesel and the continued efforts to educate about the importance of Missouri’s No. 1 cash crop.
Since 2012, John and Rebecca Roller of Dadeville, Mo., have raised American bison. Their ranch, Back Forty Bison, is a breeding stock operation, and they offer heifer calves and bulls for sale as “starter herds.” They also have a wholesale meat business. Due to the close proximity of other species of livestock in the region, the Rollers choose to vaccinate their bison annually at the time of weaning, a day known as “Working Day.” This process can be stressful for the animals, so the Rollers have developed a system to minimize stress and ensure the health and well-being of the bison.
