The 78 United Soybean Board farmer leaders have approved soy checkoff investments for 2022.
The directors approved a $78 million investment in 181 checkoff-funded projects during USB’s summer board meeting this week in Missouri.
Marketplace Action Team Chair Belinda Burrier says one of the priorities is “creating demand in the edible soy oil market and as far as being able to create a high market for some of the soy oil we already have on the market.”
For example, to expand the high oleic/low linolenic germplasm, USB investments are focused on building a foundation of material containing the four genes needed for those soybean varieties.
