A Good Year for Soy

On those mornings when I start my day with a bowl of cereal I use soy milk. Studying the carton today I noticed for the first time that the carton says the product is made from North American soybeans.

... And I got to wondering.  Are soybeans like grapes? Do soybeans from South America or Europe have a different flavor than those grown in the U.S.?  Are there good years and bad?  Should I be watching for an opportunity to pick a carton of milk distilled from the Carolina bean of 2010?

Now I'm going to have to study the labeling on competing brands - and perhaps start a soy milk tasting club.
