The Newest Use for U.S. Soy Involves Chainsaws

The newest use for American soy is a biobased oil for chainsaws. Through the Soy Checkoff Research and Development Investment, U.S. soybean farmers are partnering with DEWALT and Dynamic Green Products to announce a groundbreaking sustainable solution. DEWALT’s soy-based Bar & Chain Biodegradable Oil is now available at Home Depot Stores nationwide and on various online platforms. “It’s exciting to see the checkoff investment in this bar and chain oil pay dividends as It becomes widely available to more farmers and the professionals who care for parks, forests, and more,” says Steve Reinhard, USB Chair and Ohio soybean farmer. “This oil is yet another example of U.S. Soy delivering performance and sustainability benefits.” Fifth-generation farmer Bret Davis of Ohio was eager to be an early adopter of the product. “It’s pretty simple: if you grow it, then you should use it,” Davis says. “It works great in my battery-powered chainsaw.”
