Cost-driven feed decisions test soybean meal's value, and ongoing research keeps it as animal agriculture’s preferred source of plant-based protein.

Clean fuel demand is rapidly turning soybean oil into a growth engine, cutting emissions and lifting the crop's value.

As global production increases, U.S. Soy competes to remain the world's leading soy supplier, backed by partnerships and sustainability credentials.

Soy Checkoff investments have expanded opportunities for high oleic soybeans, giving farmers the potential to earn premiums while meeting demand from food, feed and industrial markets.

Soybeans are in tires, shoes, asphalt, firefighting foam, plywood—and the list keeps growing. Checkoff investments fund the research that creates new demand for every bushel farmers grow.

Despite misinformation about seed oils and soy, research keeps proving what science has shown for decades: Soy is safe, nutritious, and heart-healthy.

Brazil's growing production drives competition for U.S. soybean volume, so checkoff-funded research is proving a sustainability edge competitors can't match.

Getting soybeans to market depends on locks, dams, and ports, making Soy Checkoff investments in infrastructure critical to maintaining global competitiveness.

Every dollar invested in the checkoff has returned $12.30 in value to farmers. Overall, the Soy Checkoff has contributed a $9.8 billion increase in the U.S. GDP and created more than 30,000 jobs.

One half of one percent of every soybean sale is collected and split between the state and national Soy Checkoff, funding research, education, and promotion.
