Not a lot of farmers grow soybeans in the north country. In part, it's because they have to be trucked hundreds of miles away to be processed. But that could soon change reports WWNY TV.
St. Lawrence Soyway Company will process soybeans into livestock feed. It will also produce soy oil for industry. Local farmers say having a nearby market should cut expenses.
The plant would be at the former Alcoa East site near the bridge to Canada. A lease is being finalized. It would employ about 38 people.
