Abstract: Excerpt from the report Introduction: The objectives of this study were to determine: (1) The extent to which existing marketing methods and grades reflect the soybean quality characteristics that are valued most by processors, marketing agencies, and producers; (2) the economic feasibility of utilizing the rapid dielectric oil-determining method to improve the grading and pricing of soybeans at the farm market level; and (3) the relative accuracy of the standard laboratory method for determining oil content, used as the basis for comparing results of the first two methods.
