NSB seeking candidate to serve as a USB directorNebraska The Nebraska Soybean Board is seeking candidates to fill a United Soybean Board director position. If you are an interested soybean farmer, please contact the NSB office. USB is made up of 68 farmer-directors who oversee the investments of the soybean checkoff on behalf of all U.S. soybean farmers. Checkoff funds are invested in the areas of animal utilization, human utilization, industrial utilization, industry relations, market access and supply. As stipulated in the Soybean Promotion, Research and Consumer Information Act, USDA's Agricultural Marketing Service has oversight responsibilities for USB and the soybean checkoff. USB directors receive no compensation but are reimbursed for expenses incurred while carrying out board business. USB directors serve three-year terms. "The United Soybean Board is full of strong leaders that are looking out for the best interest of the soybean farmers," says Mike Korth, soybean producer from Randolph, Neb., and USB director. "As a director, I am able to focus on building demand for our U.S. soybeans and exploring research to increase our yields and profitability." This position is open to all soybean farmers in Nebraska. NSB will nominate two candidates, and the final selection will be made by the USDA Secretary of Agriculture. The USDA has a policy that membership on USDA boards and committees be open to all individuals without regard to race, color, national origin, gender, religion, age, disability, political beliefs, sexual orientation and marital or family status. Anyone interested in applying needs to meet the following criteria: 1. Be involved in a farming operation that raises soybeans. 2. Be a resident of Nebraska. 3. Be at least 21 years of age. 4. Provide a biography by March 10 to the NSB office. For more information please contact Victor Bohuslavsky at 402-432-5720 before the March 10 deadline.
