Checkoff farmer-leaders, including newly elected United Soybean Board (USB) Vice Chairman Bob Haselwood, a soybean farmer from Kansas, will have one-on-one discussions with Farm Bureau leadership at the American Farm Bureau Federation (AFBF) Convention in San Antonio. Stop by USB's booth, #616, to discuss the soy checkoff's priorities for the coming year.

Soybean Quality Matters, an informational campaign to show farmers that improving U.S. soy quality increases customer demand and can lead to higher prices farmers receive.
