The Pennsylvania Soybean Board (PSB) is a farmer-driven board responsible for managing Pennsylvania’s share of funds received from the national soy checkoff program.
The soy checkoff helps ensure a strong and profitable future for soybean farmers.
Through the checkoff, each farmer contributes 0.5% of the market price of each bushel, which elevators and processors collect at the first point of sale.
The soy checkoff focuses investments in three key areas: education, promotion and research. Checkoff dollars, by law, cannot be used for lobbying or policy efforts.
Mission
As trusted soybean farmers, the Pennsylvania Soybean Board provides stewardship of the Pennsylvania soybean checkoff to support the profit potential for soybean growers.
Our Objectives
- Preserve and advance animal agriculture, the largest consumer of soybean meal
- Identify and promote sustainable practices that provide ROI to farmers
- Drive new innovations to increase the value of soy
- Promote biofuels through partnering opportunities
- Increase the understanding of soy
