USB SETS SIGHTS ON WAYS TO PROVIDE MORE PROFIT OPPORTUNITIES FOR U.S. SOYBEAN FARMERS
The United Soybean Board (USB) will hold its next meeting Feb. 21-24 in Biloxi, Miss., to measure progress on soy-checkoff-funded efforts to increase demand for U.S. soy and strategize on new ones that can help keep U.S. soybean farmers profitable. The 69 farmer-directors have four objectives for the U.S. soy research and promotion program: increase the value of U.S. soybean meal and oil; ensure U.S. soybean farmers have the freedom and transportation infrastructure to operate; and meet the changing needs of U.S. soy customers. USB welcomes all members of the media to attend the open sessions, beginning at 8:00 a.m. on Feb. 21. A copy of the full meeting agenda is available upon request. |
