Strategic Plan

Mission: 

Growing value for Nebraska farmers by maximizing their checkoff investments.

 

Vision: 

Feeding, fueling, and innovating for the future.

 

Our initiatives:
  • Farmer Support: Share ideas and information to support and encourage Nebraska soybean farmers.
  • Production & Crop Research: Invest in targeted research to improve Nebraska soy production and quality.
  • Community Engagement: Interact with our local communities to showcase Nebraska soybeans, farms and farmers.
  • Demand & Utilization: Promote the power, versatility and sustainability of Nebraska soy.

 

On a broader level, the soy checkoff helps facilitate market growth and create new markets for soybeans through marketing, research and commercialization programs. According to a 2019 return-on-investment (ROI) study, which is required by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, U.S. soybean farmers received $12.34 in added value for every dollar they invested in the soy checkoff. The federal law that created the soy checkoff requires that a return on investment study be conducted every five years.
