National soybean checkoff sound

USDA’s Office of Inspector General has found “insufficient evidence” to support allegations brought by the American Soybean Association against the United Soybean Board, the U.S. Soybean Export Council and the law firm of McLeod, Watkins & Miller. The American Soybean Association says it is - pleased that we can put this issue behind our industry.

During the review, substantial management and board changes were made at the U.S. Soybean Export Council. The former USSEC CEO was placed on administrative leave and the board of directors has been restructured. As a result of those changes, the Checkoff Board believes - soybean farmer interests are being better served.

ASA believes soybean farmers benefit from a strong policy organization and our state affiliates, working for them on legislative and regulatory issues, as well as from a soybean checkoff working at the national and state levels. ASA believes we can create the best possible present and future for U.S. soybean farmers and the U.S. soybean industry.
