U.S. Soy is the brand powered by the United Soybean Board and the Soy Checkoff. It represents soybeans grown by American farmers and their role in Animal Feed & Nutrition, Industry & Manufacturing, Biofuel & Energy, and CPG & Food.
The United Soybean Board, composed of volunteer soybean farmers from across the U.S., oversees investments made through the Soy Checkoff to grow markets and drive research.
The Soy Checkoff is a farmer-funded investment program that supports research, education, and promotion to build demand for soy and drive value for U.S. soybean farmers.
The United Soybean Board is the governing body and Checkoff administrator. U.S. Soy is the outward-facing brand that tells the story of soy’s impact to the public.
Soy is used in animal feed, human food, biofuels, industrial products (like asphalt, tires, and foams), and more. It’s one of the most versatile crops in the world.
Through investments in regenerative practices, high oleic soybeans, and carbon-reducing technologies like biodiesel and sustainable aviation fuel, U.S. Soy is helping to shape a climate-forward agricultural future.
Yes. Many of the soy products we promote, including high oleic soybean oil, are developed using modern biotechnology. These advancements improve oil performance (like extended fry life and shelf life), enhance nutrition (more monounsaturated fats, less saturated fat), and support more sustainable farming practices.
Soybeans are used in thousands of products, primarily in the form of oil, often replacing petroleum in consumer and commercial goods. To see how soy is replacing petroleum in everyday products see the [Industry & Manufacturing page]. To learn more about soy as an energy source see the [Biofuel & Energy page].
