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.

From farm to road soybeans are helping pave the way! 🌱🛣️
Delaware Soybean Board Vice Chairman Matt Szelestei and Executive Director Danielle Bauer attended today’s DelDOT RePlay pilot demonstration in Dover to see a soy-based asphalt treatment in action.
Made in Missouri using U.S. soybeans, BioSpan Technologies' RePlay is designed to extend the life of existing pavement, helping stretch maintenance dollars so more roads can receive attention over time.
One 275-gallon tote of RePlay treats approximately 2.2 miles of road and includes 750 bushels of soybeans, according to BioSpan. We also learned that soy is an ingredient in all 58 of the company’s products, which are nontoxic, biodegradable and PFAS-free.
Thank you to DelDOT, BioSpan Technologies and Fix Asphalt for demonstrating this innovative use of soy, and to the Soy Transportation Coalition and United Soybean Board for funding the pilot.
Take a look at photos from the event—a great opportunity to see how soy-based solutions can increase demand for soybeans here in the First State.
