Which code does this activity belong in?
Soybean farming covers establishments that grow soybeans or produce soybean seeds as their primary activity. The boundary with oilseed farming is clear: oilseed crops other than soybeans are classified in Oilseed (except Soybean) Farming. Soybean farming is also distinct from dry pea and bean farming, wheat farming, corn farming, rice farming, and grain farming, each of which covers their respective crops. An establishment growing both soybeans and other grains or oilseeds in combination, where soybeans do not account for at least one-half of production value, would be classified in Other Grain Farming instead.
