soybean fields

Tofu crop farms

Soybean fields are agricultural land planted with soybeans—one of the world's most important crops, grown for oil, animal feed, and protein products like tofu.

The phrase evokes the American Midwest and Brazilian interior, where vast expanses of low-growing plants stretch to the horizon: We drove past miles of soybean fields.
