Top Things for Farmers to Know About Checkoff Dollars Invested in Research

The North Carolina Soybean Producers Research Committee works hard to fund projects that will provide North Carolina producers with the data they need to make decisions on their farms and that will improve their productivity and profitability. The committee sees the checkoff as an investment and funds projects they think have the greatest chance of the largest ROI.
