The Ohio Soybean Council (OSC) believes scientific research can help farmers increase yields, reduce costs and protect the land and water, which is why OSC helps fund research for issues that matters most to Ohio farmers.

From plant disease to pest control to plant breeding, soybean checkoff dollars go to work to help find solutions to the biggest challenges facing Ohio soybean farmers today. These research projects include finding resistances to pests and disease, developing new soybean varieties and on-the-field research to determine other yield-limiting factors. The knowledge gained helps Ohio soybean farmers make the most of their soybean crop.
