Indiana Soybean Alliance seeks USB nominations

The Indiana Soybean Alliance is seeking nominations for the National Checkoff Board.  Sixty-nine volunteer farmer-directors make up the United Soybean Board.  They oversee the investments of the national soybean checkoff.  Indiana has four directors on the USB board; two of which are up for re-appointment this year.

The U.S. Secretary of Agriculture appoints directors to the USB board but the Indiana Soybean Alliance, the state soybean checkoff organization, submits director candidate names to the U.S. Department of Agriculture for the Secretary’s consideration.  USB directors serve a three-year term.

Indiana soybean farmers that are interested in serving as the state’s representative to the USB should apply by February 28, 2013.
