Kansas Soybean Commission requests proposals

10/04/2013

The Kansas Soybean Commission (KSC) is requesting research and education proposals for fiscal year 2015. Proposals are due Oct. 18, and an individual may be listed as the principal on only one. The commissioners will review ideas for breeding, production and environmental programs; livestock- and human-nutrition or food-safety studies; commercially significant, value-added projects that will utilize large quantities of soybeans; and marketing and transportation programs.

More information about KSC's priorities, complete instructions and application forms are available at http://KansasSoybeans.org/forms on the Web or by calling the Kansas Soybean office at 877-KS-SOYBEAN (877-577-6923). Proposers who gain preliminary approval from the commissioners will make formal presentations Nov. 21 or 22 in Topeka or via teleconferencing.

The two-day funding meeting will begin at 8 a.m. each day. The commissioners also will discuss current 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 at the office.
