One of Our Biggest Success Stories as a Result of Research

The biodiesel industry has its roots in Missouri, and biodiesel has contributed significantly to soybean demand. MSMC was an early investor in biodiesel research at the University of Missouri, supporting ground-breaking work by Leon Schumacher in the early 1990s. MSMC played a big part in establishing the biodiesel market and continues to fund its research today.
