The United Soybean Board has launched the Soy Farmer Support Hub, a new online resource designed to help farmers access practical, research-backed tools for day-to-day challenges on the farm.
Available through the Soy Checkoff, the hub organizes resources into three categories: For Your Fields, For Your Operation, and For You. The initiative aims to provide timely support for soybean farmers while also helping reduce farm stress during Mental Health Awareness Month in May.
The “For Your Fields” section includes tools for variety selection, seeding rates, disease management, and biological product decisions.
Tom Frisch, a Soy Checkoff farmer-leader from Minnesota, said the site helps farmers navigate the growing number of available resources. The hub also includes a suggestion box, allowing farmers to recommend additional tools and priorities directly to checkoff leaders.
Meanwhile, the “For Your Operation” section focuses on profitability opportunities such as specialty soy premiums, sustainability programs, and cost-share funding options for producers.
