Among the five sacred plants of ancient China, soybeans have expanded well beyond their original land of cultivation and now reign as the second most valuable crop in the United States.

Overall, soybeans have a fair share of interest - as well as controversy - but are undeniably an important part of farming in both hemispheres.
