Description
The Wisconsin Soybean Marketing Board (WSMB), a farmer-elected board, invests soybean checkoff funds in research, market development, promotion, education and technology transfer. It seeks projects and partnerships that improve profitability, expand demand and create long-term opportunities for Wisconsin soybean farmers.
Priority areas include international markets for commodity soybeans and soybean meal; export infrastructure and logistics; identity-preserved and food-grade soybean markets; adoption of biodiesel, renewable diesel and soy-based products; market assessments; and soybean protein demand in animal feed. WSMB may consider projects outside these areas if they clearly demonstrate direct value to Wisconsin soybean farmers.
