Interested in Learning More About the Soybean Checkoff? Come See for Yourself this year!
The Nebraska Soybean Board has kicked off another year of its “See for Yourself” program this fall. The See for Yourself program is designed to give Nebraska soybean farmers the opportunity to learn more about their checkoff. Farmers selected to take part in the program will attend checkoff-sponsored activities in an attempt to gain a better understanding of how their checkoff dollars are being invested to build demand and increase profitability.
See for Yourself is designed to include the opportunity to attend state, national and international activities. The in-state program gives farmers the chance to attend functions in Nebraska that are vital to the continued success of the soybean industry. The national program includes attending meetings sponsored by the Untied Soybean Board, United States Meat Export Federation, National Biodiesel Board, United States Soybean Export Council, Untied States Poultry and Egg Export Council, as well as many other important national meetings and activities. The international program is designed to show soybean farmers first-hand what the checkoff is doing to build global demand.
The Nebraska Soybean Board is currently planning its visit to Grays Harbor in the Pacific Northwest as a part of this year’s international tour. Grays Harbor is a vital shipping area for Nebraska soybeans, connecting our farmers with international buyers in Asia and the Black Sea region. The Grays Harbor tour aims to give Nebraska soybean farmers a better understanding of the logistical chain soybeans go through on their way to some of our international customers. Stops on this trip are planned to include a tour of the Union Pacific rail system in Omaha, a tour Grays Harbor port and a tour of a large user of biodiesel in Washington state.
The Nebraska Soybean Board is committed to increasing the profitability of your soybeans and wants to give you the opportunity to gain a better understanding of checkoff activities. To get involved or learn more about the program, please contact the Nebraska Soybean Board office at 402-441-3240. Thank you for your support of the Nebraska Soybean Board and this exciting program, and we hope to see you at our next event!
