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.

Delaware was well represented this week at the Clean Fuels Alliance America Conference!
Delaware Soybean Board member, Rick Dickerson, attended alongside industry leaders from across the country to discuss the future of clean fuels, renewable diesel, and soybean-based solutions that are driving sustainability in transportation and energy.
These conversations are critical to expanding markets for U.S. soybeans while supporting a lower-carbon future—and Delaware farmers are proud to be part of that progress.
