Kentucky Soybean Board

The Kentucky Soybean Board is a farmer-led organization responsible for managing the soybean checkoff funds in the state of Kentucky. The board invests these funds into research, market development, and educational programs designed to increase the profitability and sustainability of Kentucky soybean farmers. While not a traditional biotechnology company, the board frequently collaborates with academic institutions and private researchers to advance soybean genetics, crop protection, and nutritional applications. Its activities support the broader agricultural life sciences sector through funding for agronomic studies and new use development. The organization serves as a critical link between agricultural production and scientific innovation within the state.
