Dear Arkansas Soybean Producer:
Welcome again to "Soybeans Today," the annual report
from the Arkansas Soybean Promotion Board. This publication
is funded by the Board and produced by the University
of Arkansas Division of Agriculture. Its purpose is
to keep you, the soybean producer, informed about research
and other studies being conducted with your checkoff
dollars.
The Board considers the administration of your checkoff
contributions a tremendous responsibility. We strive
to give you the greatest possible return for your investment.
"Soybeans Today" highlights some of the program's accomplishments.
As you know, funds collected from the soybeans checkoff
program are a percentage of the value of the crop harvested
each year. Low prices and reduced yields this past year
have meant difficult times for farmers. It has also
been difficult for the Board, with its limited budget,
to conduct programs for producers. With your profitability
our main goal, the Soybean Promotion Board has worked
hard to allocate the available funds in ways that give
you the most benefits. As you read this publication,
I hope you find areas that benefit you.
With conditions as they are, I believe the checkoff
program and the research and market development efforts
it has funded will be important factors in sustaining
the soybean industry in Arkansas.
Your dollars are funding work to increase yields, reduce
production costs and develop new products that will
provide new marketing opportunities and increase utilization
of the soybeans you produce.
As always, your input is important to the Arkansas
Soybean Promotion Board. If you want to offer suggestions
or make comments about the programs conducted on your
behalf, contact me or any other Board member. For more
information about the Board and the programs it conducts,

Sincerely,
Art Simpson, Chairman
