The Kansas Soybean Commission (KSC) is a group of nine farmer-leaders, elected by their fellow Kansas soybean farmers, who work to promote Kansas soybeans. It was established in 1977. Since 1991, as a qualified state soybean board (QSSB) under the federal Soybean Promotion, Research and Consumer Information Act, the Commission has overseen the investment of 50 percent of Kansas’ soybean-checkoff dollars. (The other 50 percent goes to the United Soybean Board.)
