Making the Most of Every Season
From adverse weather to pest and disease infestation, soybean farmers face new challenges in their fields each season. To address these challenges, the farmer-led soybean checkoff invests funding in production research that maintains and improves yields.

A Multi-Tiered Approach
Soybean checkoff-funded production research occurs at state, regional and national levels. To increase efficiency, the soybean checkoff funds projects and meetings that promote synergy and communication in the research community. Research coordination leverages checkoff investments and provides opportunities to establish research projects and priorities across the entire soybean industry.

Improving New Jersey Production
As New Jersey soybean farmers, the directors of the New Jersey Soybean Board understand production challenges unique to the state, and the board works to address those challenges. Partnering with local researchers allows the New Jersey Soybean Board to efficiently improve soybean production.

National Success
At the national level, the United Soybean Board farmer-leaders invest checkoff funding in production research programs on behalf of all U.S. farmers. The research aims to increase yields by combating yield-robbers like SCN, aphids, rust and drought, and to add value to U.S. soybean production by improving soybean composition to meet customer needs. The soybean checkoff also invests in soybean genomics research to aid in breeding for both disease resistance and composition improvements.

The soybean checkoff funds research and creates tools to help you identify, manage and defend your soybean fields from yield-robbing diseases and pests. To order a Plant Disease & Pest Management Guide or a Soybean Diagnostic Guide, click here.
