SOYBEAN PROCESSING
When growers bring their truckloads of soybeans to our facility, we first test the samples for quality - determining its protein content, moisture, color, size, estimated damaged beans, and estimated non-usable beans. With this information, we will determine if we will process the grain products for our customers. Each truck sample is tested and must pass our high quality check.

4. All shipping containers and trucks are inspected for any leaks, damages, and contamination prior to use.
Non-GMO
1. Verify proof of purchase and certification of seeds.
2. Follow planting and harvesting protocols.
3. Check for quality upon delivery.
4. Test samples to confirm Non-GMO status (both at Soyko and through NDSSD, NDGI, or Intertek).
Food-Grade Soybeans
1. Specify that soybeans are identity-preserved.
2. Purchase the best quality soybeans from producers by testing quality at the facility.
3. We have stringent quality control processes.
4. Offer a wide selection of Non-GMO, identity-preserved, food-grade soybeans.
