Producer Redirection of Checkoff Assessments Form 

The Soybean Promotion, Research, and Consumer Information Act and Order require collection of a mandatory 0.5 percent of the net market price per bushel checkoff assessment 

every time soybeans are sold. The Act and Order authorize State soybean councils to retain 50 percent of the mandatory checkoff assessment (i.e., 0.25 percent of the net market 

price per bushel checkoff assessment) for in-State research and promotion programs conducted by the State soybean boards. The Act requires that half of the mandatory checkoff 

assessment be forwarded to the United Soybean Board (Soybean Board) to help fund national soybean checkoff programs. [State] producers may use this form to request that the 

[QSSB] send the full 0.5 percent of the net market price per bushel checkoff assessment from their individual soybean sales to the Soybean Board and that the [QSSB] not retain any 

portion of the individual’s assessment for its direct programing efforts. 

This “Producer Redirection of Checkoff Assessment Form” must be postmarked by the last day of the month following the month the soybeans were sold and 

mailed to the appropriate QSSB.
