Nebraska Soybean Board
Our Mission: Growing value for Nebraska farmers by maximizing their checkoff investments. Department of Agriculture, U.S.
Nine board members from across the state make up the Nebraska Soybean Board. Board members listen to reports of checkoff-funded research, marketing efforts, and promotional programs, and make future funding decisions. On a broader level, the soy checkoff helps facilitate market growth and create new markets for soybeans through marketing, research and commercialization programs. According to a 2019 return-on-investment (ROI) study, which is required by the U.S. soybean farmers received $12.34 in added value for every dollar they invested in the soy checkoff. The federal law that created the soy checkoff requires that a return on investment study be conducted every five years.
