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.

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.
