Welcome

From uncovering solutions to yield-robbing pests and diseases to building demand for soybeans, the Oklahoma Soybean Board and the soybean checkoff work to increase the profitability of soybean production in Oklahoma.

The soybean checkoff works through several channels to build a strong future for the soybean industry. Learn about how the Oklahoma Soybean Board leverages state checkoff funding to maximize its investments. The menu above provides information about the checkoff, checkoff-funded programs and resources for soybean farmers.

About the Oklahoma Soybean Board

 

Effective. Efficient. Farmer-Driven
Success for soybean farmers in today's market takes more than just a good harvest. Increasing demand for soybeans is an essential part of the equation. The soybean checkoff helps facilitate market growth and creation by funding and directing marketing, research and commercialization programs. By building demand both at home and abroad, the soybean checkoff helps ensure a strong and profitable future for U.S. soybean farmers.

How does the soybean checkoff work?
The soybean checkoff is supported entirely by soybean farmers with individual contributions of 0.5 percent of the market price per bushel sold each season. Fifty percent of contributions collected in Oklahoma remain in the state. The Oklahoma Soybean Board invests these funds in research and education to improve the profitability of soybean production on behalf of all Oklahoma soybean producers.

The remaining 50 percent of funds are sent to the national soybean checkoff, directed by the United Soybean Board. Composed of 68 volunteer farmer-leaders, USB invests soybean checkoff funding to conduct research and drive demand for U.S. soybeans

U.S. soybean farmers now have an updated tool that can meet the needs of some customers who want proof U.S. soy has been sustainably produced.


 

The updated calculator allows U.S. farmers to analyze individual fields and includes more advanced measurements for soil conservation and soil carbon. Additionally, the tool automatically provides a financial ledger that computes the economic impact of sustainable practices on that farm. It also allows U.S. farmers to set up a secure account to save their information for future use.
