About Us
The North Dakota Soybean Council (NDSC) was established in 1985. Since 1991, NDSC has served as a Qualified State Soybean Board (QSSB) under the federal Soybean Promotion, Research and Consumer Information Act. North Dakota soybean farmers contribute ½ of 1% of the price of each bushel sold at the first point of sale to the soy checkoff. The NDSC farmer board oversees the investment of 50% of those checkoff dollars, with the remaining 50% directed to the United Soybean Board. Every soybean farmer contributes to the checkoff, which funds research, market development, promotion, and education initiatives administered by the North Dakota Soybean Council.
