I have little interest in soy, but I’m sure many people do. It is a good idea to have the contest here in Indiana due to all the farm land as well.

I think this is a great idea. Like Amanda said, what better place than Indiana to have it in! The idea of using soy-based products is a tremendous break through for the farming communities & can definitely boost the economy. Also, this could help make way for different types, other than soy, based products!

This would be a very interesting idea, I have no knowledge on farming or anything like that. So I guess it sounds like a good idea to start in Indiana.

I think this is a wonderful idea. It deals with soy, a product of farming, so what better place to target your market than an area/ state where agriculture is a major part of the economy? In turn, the company attracts entrepreneurs who have come up with a new product based off of soy. In a time when much emphasis is being place on alternative fuels, conservation, and a “greener” America, the timing of INVEST is perfect - it gives people the chance to get their soy product noticed, and it encourages people to direct their efforts into contributing to this national and global effort.

I know nothing about soy, but think it’s a great way to encourage people to seek alternative uses of soy. Everyone is used to hearing about different blends of gasoline made from corn crop, soy, etc., but I’m sure this will get people thinking outside of the box and exploring pretty unique ideas. I’d be interested to see who gets the funding and where these products end up once they are submitted.

My question is who owns the invention, does the competition, does purdue, does the inventor. Who is making money off of this I realize the goal is to help support soybean farmers of America, but if the SoyPigeons goes to market who is the distributor?

I think that this is interesting and a good way for people who are out there developing soy technology. I have no idea about soy technology, but for someone that does, this is great. Hopefully this will inspire new ideas and developments in the soy industry.

This would be a great opportunity for someone who knows a lot about soy. I know they used to use soy crayons at some of the elementary schools. I think this is a very good competition to hold to boost the awareness of the many uses of soy.

I would love to see the ideas that people have for soy products. I thought the use of soy to make crayons was very interesting and I would like to see what other ideas there are like that. It is a great idea to have competitions like this so that people have a chance to develop their ideas even more. I think it is good to get people involved in innovation like this.
