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.

He praised the bill’s sponsor
Senator Wyche Fowler, Jr.
(D-GA) as well as Senators David
H. 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.”

He said the Senate’s approval
“shows Congress is ready to listen
and help U.S. soybean farmers
promote their own product.”
“We face serious competitive
threats in the U.S. and around the
world,” said Jorgensen. “But we
also have some great opportunities
to build new markets by develop
ing new products and promoting
soybeans in places like the Soviet
Union. 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

According to Jorgensen, the
checkoff would fund research to
help U.S. farmers be more compe
titive by reducing production
costs. 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. The
