The Delaware Soybean Board administers the federal Soybean Checkoff, a 100% farmer-funded program, to benefit First State soybean farmers.
Our mission is to improve the profitability of Delaware soybean farmers by conducting research, marketing and educational activities which result in a stronger soybean industry.
Five Ways Delaware Farmers are Excelling at Sustainability
When Delaware’s soybean farmers began planting this spring, they did so with the environment in mind.
Based on statistics from the United Soybean Board’s “Soy Sustainability” report released in early 2017, Delaware soybean farmers produced 5.5 million bushels on 175,000 acres, averaging 32 bushels per acre in 2010. By 2015, through the responsible use of technology and implementing efficiencies in how they farm, they were able to produce 6.9 million bushels on 173,000 acres, averaging 40 bushels per acre.

With increased complaints of crop loss and anticipated losses from deer, the Delaware Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control (DNREC) has expanded this year’s deer damage assistance program.
DNREC is now offering expedited, direct enrollment into the Extreme Deer Damage Assistance Program (EDDAP).
DNREC offers a tiered assistance program based on the severity of damage, which allows enrolled farmers to have hunters on their property year round to harvest antlerless deer.
