Texas Soybean Board
Top Things for Farmers to Know About Checkoff Dollars Invested in Research
The Texas Soybean Board is dedicated to using the soybean checkoff to fund research projects applicable to Texas soybean farmers. Funded projects aim to provide farmers with cutting-edge research they can use to better manage their soybeans and increase yields. For example, variety evaluation provides relevant local data about suitability to environmental conditions in key Texas regions. The drought in 2022 caused some projects to fail, but they will be repeated in 2023.
