Soybean Purchasing & Product Sales

Soybean processing is CRC’s primary business. CRC operates its soybean processing plant in Somerset, Kentucky, positioning CRC as the closet soybean processor to farmers located in Central and Eastern Kentucky.

About Our Soybean Process

Soybeans are processed into three primary products: soybean meal and hulls, which is used as animal feed, and crude soybean oil, which is further processed for the food sector and industrial uses, including biofuels.

Soy Hulls

Soy hulls are a valuable co-product and highly digestible fiber source used in livestock feed rations, specifically for dairy cows and as a supplement to forage diets for growing beef cattle. Soy hulls are often pelleted to enhance the ease of handling and bulk density. CRC merchandises soy hulls both domestically and internationally.
