Arkansas Soybean Promotion Board

Overview

The Arkansas Soybean Promotion Board was established to conduct plans, projects, or activities to strengthen the soybean industry’s position in the marketplace.  The board consists of nine soybean producers appointed by the Governor and confirmed by the Senate. Members serve two-year terms. The board’s activities are paid from an assessment of .25 percent of the market price of all soybeans grown within Arkansas. Assessments are collected by the first purchaser at the point of sale.
