> Soybeans are crushed ... The oil is sold to consumers as soybean oil in most of the world, and marketed as vegetable oil in the US.
That's the 40% I referred to. Crushers, while less profitable, are a better fit for my poorer ground. I lumped this in as animal food to keep things simple, but you're right that there is also human uses. You could write books about the subject if you want to capture all the details.
The 60% are food grade (IP) soybeans, which generally end up as tofu, soy milk, and other foods where the soybean seeds are eaten whole (more common in Asian countries).

Ah interesting. I’ve never known anyone who grows IP beans because the farmers I know are in NC which is a meat state.
Are IP beans kept moist or sold dry?

Dry, and strictly so. At least for the market I sell in they must be between 11% and 14.5% moisture off the combine (must be naturally dried).
Your split of 60/40 human/animal split for soybeans is accurate on a calorie basis. I just though I would add some color as to why it is the case… the beans are split.
