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.

Spring is in the air! 🚜 As farmers hit the fields, remember to share the roads safely. Be patient and alert when you see tractors ahead - give them plenty of space.
Think SAM:
✅ Slow down: Don't rush when approaching farm equipment
✅ Assess your surroundings: They may have limited visibility
✅ Move with caution: Pass only when safe & legal
Farming feeds us all - let's keep everyone safe on our roads! 🌱
