THE NEBRASKA CONNECTION
Behind the bean:
grower decisions.
Nebraska’s soybean story includes the practical work of managing water, timing and crop development.
University of Nebraska–Lincoln Extension describes how both rainfed and irrigated growers can use SoyWater to track soybean development. That field-level work sits behind a state crop of 313.745 million bushels in 2025. Connecting tofu with soybeans opens a conversation about the people and decisions behind the ingredient.

The crop grows.
The tofu is made.
A soybean becomes tofu through a food-making process: soaking, grinding, heating, filtering and coagulating soybean milk.
Soybeans serve many markets. Food-grade varieties and supply chains connect suitable beans to tofu makers. State crop totals do not tell us how much becomes tofu, and this campaign does not establish the origin of any particular product.
