Soybean Farmers Praise Senate Action On Nationwide Checkoff ST. LOUIS, MO. The American Soybean Association (ASA) recently praised Senate leaders on passage of legislation creating a Soybean Promotion and Research Checkoff. The Agricul ture Programs Act of 1989 creates a nationwide soybean checkoff to fund promotion and research to increase soybean profits. The Senate action follows on the heels of action October 26 by the House Agriculture Committee approving a similar bill (HR2209). ASA President Marlyn Jorgensen urged “quick action this year” to move the measure to final approval in the House and Senate.

Pryor (D-AR), Christopher S. (Kit) Bond (R-MO) and Thad Cochran (R-MS) for their efforts to “create a good bill that will work in the best interests of farmers.” “This legislation is going to help U.S. soybean farmers be more competitive and increase profit opportunities by allowing more emphasis on market promo tion and research,” said Jorgensen. “It meets the needs of farmers by creating a program that will be fair, farmer controlled and benefi cial to all soybean farmers.” PENNSYLVANIA CORN GROWERS NOW HAVE THE 1-2 KNOCKOUT PUNCH THEY HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR Relative Maturity: 102-106 Tri-County Ag Center Inc McVeytown, PA (7X7) 899-6772 Warriors Mark Feed Center Warriors Mark.

This legislation will pro vide the funding necessary to take advantage of these research and marketing opportunities.” The nationwide Soybean Prom otion and Research Checkoff is similar to other successful self help programs such as those in the District Sales Manager Steve Shipman 717-726-6958 Bruce B Gamble ft Sons Concord, PA (717) 349-3670 Ralph W Flacher Crystal Spring.

It would also fund research on new uses for soybeans and soy bean products such as soybean oil based ink for the printing industry. Finally it would provide promo tion, consumer education and advertising in the U.S. and over seas to protect current markets and find new markets to expand demand. “We support establishment of a checkoff that is fair and is run by farmers,” said Jorgensen.
