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.
Research
The Delaware Soybean Board funds soybean research on an annual basis to support the viability and profitability of soybean farmers in Delaware.
Soy Products
Hundreds of different soy-biobased products are being offered today by American companies.
Yield Contest
It’s about more than bragging rights. It’s about discovering varieties and management choices that work for soybean growers in Delaware.

Did you know? Nearly half of all traffic crashes occur on rural roads, even though only 19% of Americans live in rural areas.
This is why it is important to be mindful of slow moving vehicles (SMVs) while traveling on rural roads. SMVs have less visibility and take up more space than traditional passenger vehicles.
When riding on rural roads, remember to:
▪ Slow Down
▪ Assess Your Surroundings,
▪ and Move with Caution.

A big thank you to Corteva Agriscience for hosting the Delaware Soybean Board for yesterday's Board of Directors meeting at Chesapeake Farms!
Directors had the opportunity to tour the facility, learn about ongoing soybean research, and see firsthand the innovative work being done to help farmers tackle today's challenges. A highlight of the day was discussing strategies to manage Palmer amaranth, one of the most persistent and troublesome weeds impacting soybean production.
We appreciate Corteva's partnership and commitment to advancing agricultural research and providing practical solutions that support soybean growers across the region.
