PUBLIC NOTICE The Mississippi Soybean Promotion Board (MSPB) is seeking interested soybean producers to represent Mississippi as a Director on the United Soybean Board (USB). USB is made up of farmer-directors who oversee the investment of soybean checkoff funds on behalf of all U.S. soybean farmers. These funds support research, promotion, and market development, including animal utilization, human utilization, industrial uses, industry relations, market access, and supply. USB Directors are appointed by the United States Department of Agriculture and play a key role in shaping the future of the soybean industry. Serving as a Director requires approximately 21 days annually, including three Board meetings (February, July, and December) and at least one Action Team meeting.
