Soy Notes

RSS Feed

It is important that soybean farmers get information in a timely manner and through a medium that is clear, concise and easily accessible.

The Kansas Soybean Commission develops six issues of its Soy Notes newsletter each year 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, with the exception of two digital issues in April and October.
