About
Missouri Soybeans
Dedicated to Missouri soybean farmers
Missouri farmers are great at producing sustainable, quality soybeans. Missouri Soybeans is dedicated to making sure Missouri farmers have the tools they need and that there are customers for Missouri soybeans. With the power of two complementary organizations supporting them, farmers can be assured their soybeans are being marketed, researched and advocated for.
Missouri Soybeans is governed by the leadership of two farmer boards, Missouri Soybean Association, the policy and advocacy organization, and the Missouri Soybean Checkoff, the research- and marketing-focused Missouri Soybean Merchandising Council.
Missouri Soybeans works for Missouri farmers through two farmer-led organizations
Missouri Soybean Association
The Missouri Soybean Association (MSA) is a membership organization that advocates on behalf of Missouri soybean farmers at the local, state and national level. MSA’s farmer board champions Missouri farmers, being their voice to many audiences who impact farming and agriculture.
