The 78 United Soybean Board farmer directors met virtually to approve soy checkoff investment programs for 2021.
USB Chair Jim Carroll, an Arkansas farmer, says one of the programs approved is research into soybean protein.
“We want to know what the amino acids are doing, and does it work in poultry better or swine,” he says. “We’re trying to figure it out because we think we have a better product than our competitors around the world.”
He tells Brownfield the nearly $70 million investment in the approved programs will help increase the value of US soybeans and build demand.
