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.

This week was Stand Up 4 Grain Bin Safety Week, and we want to take the time to share these safety tips to utilize when working in or around grain bins.
In 2025, there was approximately 21 billion bushels of corn and soybeans stored in the United States, and from 2023 to 2024 there was a 26% increase in grain bin entrapments. Farmers and grain bin operators should review these safety tips and share them with those they work with.
