George Washington Carver and Henry Ford both called the soybean a miracle crop. Thats still true today. Everything from lotions to cleaning products to plastics can be made with soy. Many city buses and government fleets run on soy biodiesel fuel. Most of the oil and shortening we use for cooking come from soy. And the animals that provide our meat are fed with soybean meal.

The hard-working soybean farmers who feed and fuel our nation are the driving force behind the soybean checkoff. They fund the research and marketing efforts of the checkoff through the sale of their soybeans. In turn, we get to enjoy clean, safe and renewable products made with soybeans as well as a reliable, abundant source of food.
