The Kansas Soybean Commission (KSC) will conduct a regular meeting Wednesday, March 9, at the Kansas Soybean Building in Topeka. It will begin at 8 a.m.

During that meeting, the commissioners will discuss potential nominees for the United Soybean Board, and they will submit a preferred candidate's and an alternate's names to the U.S. Department of Agriculture in April. The Soybean Promotion, Research and Consumer Information Act authorized the national board, and the secretary of agriculture appoints members from the soybean farmers that qualified state soybean boards nominate. The eventual appointee will serve a three-year term beginning in December. For more details, including the commission's plan to reach diverse candidates, eligible farmers should call 877-KS-SOYBEAN (877-577-6923) or visit http://KansasSoybeans.org/forms on the Web. KSC must receive applications by March 1.

The commission also will discuss current and future research projects, market-development activities, educational programs, and administrative items. To suggest additional topics for deliberation or to obtain a complete agenda or instructions for calling into the meeting, contact KSC Administrator Kenlon Johannes at johannes@kansassoybeans.org or call the Kansas Soybean office.
