Soy Notes
•
It is important that soybean farmers get information in a timely manner and through a medium that is clear, concise and easily accessible.
To that end, the Kansas Soybean Commission (KSC) annually develops three issues of its Soy Notes newsletter for distribution to all Kansas soybean farmers, first purchasers, Extension personnel and agricultural media. The publication focuses on various research, education and promotion projects funded by the soybean checkoff through KSC, the United Soybean Board and other members of the U.S. Soy community. Additional content includes developments in soybean production, marketing and utilization.
KSC currently inserts the newsletter in the Kansas Farmer magazine and the High Plains Journal newspaper. Extra copies are distributed at trade shows. The newsletter also is posted here then promoted on social media and via the Kansas Soybean mobile app.
