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 growers, we provide stewardship of the Pennsylvania soybean checkoff.
Our Objectives
- Maximizing return on investment of the checkoff funds
- Delivering relevant research results
- Communicating the value of soybeans
- Educating the next generation of soybean farmers and consumers
- Connecting to national and international partners
