A recent analysis of the Soybean Check Off program shows a large return on investment for soybean farmers.  United Soybean Board Chairman Jim Call who farms near Madison, Minnesota says while the numbers weren’t huge they showed a valuable gain for producers.

Call says this recent analysis containing the return of investment helps U-S-B leaders as they figure out their budget.

He says it’s valuable to have this type of analysis because it helps U.S. growers with their international market and getting ahead of South American competitors.

Call says another positive finding of the analysis shows net additional returns from the Soybean check off have far exceeded the costs of program expenditures.
