The Latest From The Soy Checkoff

To the half-million U.S. soybean farmers—  

As we navigate the heart of the growing season, I want to take a moment to share an important video that showcases how your Soy Checkoff investments boost demand across key market segments. Just as you are diligently tending to your 2025 crop, the Soy Checkoff is actively working to promote growth and opportunity for U.S. soybeans on your behalf.   

This includes promoting soy for human consumption, actively protecting the edible oils market, and furthering your product as a key ingredient in poultry and livestock feed. We are also fostering innovation in biofuels and industrial uses to replace petroleum and helping companies lower their carbon footprint by using U.S. Soy. These efforts are supported by a commitment to sustainable production for long-term supply and strengthened by strong international market development, ensuring global demand for two-thirds of the U.S. soybean crop.   

Please know that your checkoff investment is stewarded by 77 farmer leaders from across the country serving on the United Soybean Board. It is their commitment that fuels our mission to increase demand both at home and abroad and drives on-farm resiliency.  

I encourage you to watch this short Beyond the Bean quarterly update, to see these efforts in action. Sign up to receive communications from the Soy Checkoff.

Sincerely,

Lucas Lentsch

United Soybean Board CEO
