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

The Ohio Soybean Council invests in research that provides technologies and information that will increase profit opportunities for Ohio farmers. Through basic and applied soybean research the long-term goals are to protect and increase yield, to provide understandable and usable data to farmers, and to inform them of best management practices to ensure the economic well-being of their operations. The Council’s investment helps develop the next generation of soybean researchers to help Ohio farmers realize their future potential.

FY22/23
Current fiscal year checkoff investment in research
