The soy bean is an essential part of the economy in many parts of the world. It is used for many things such as food, oil, cattle feed, flower, and baby formula. If you were to process a 100-pound bushel you would obtain about 18 pounds of crude soybean oil and 76 pounds of soybean meal. Soybeans are about 18% oil and 38% protein. Soybeans are used widely in live stock feed, because they are high in protein. There are over 70 million acres of soybeans in the U.S alone. That is over 20 billion dollars worth.
Indigo is used widely throughout the world. It comes from Indigo plants that grow between 1 and 3 meters tall. Indigo is used for clothing dye and food coloring. On average, a pair of blue jeans requires 3–12 grams of indigo. Much of the indigo used in the U.S is synthetic.
Cotton is another big provider in the economy and in our lives. U.S textile mills use about 7.6 millions bale of cotton per year. 57% of which is used ot make clothing and a third is used for furniture. Cotton is used to make virtually any type of clothing, in face 70% of the clothing purchased in the U.S is made of cotton
