The latest installment of America’s Heartland profiles an issue near and dear to the hearts of many soybean producers in the Southeast: aquaculture.

The national, weekly show on American agriculture showcases the work done by the University of Arkansas’ world class aquaculture facility near Fayetteville and the progress made by researchers there toward optimizing and growing the domestic aquaculture industry.

Growing this industry is a priority for ASA, as soybean meal represents the best source of protein-rich fish feed for use in aquaculture operations. ASA is also proud to be a promotional partner of America’s Heartland, which can be seen nationwide on PBS affiliates, RFD-TV and now on FamilyNet.
