MSC is Seeking Interested Candidates for United Soybean Board Nomination

The Michigan Soybean Committee is presently seeking nominations for appointment consideration to the United Soybean Board (USB) by Secretary of Agriculture, Tom Vilsack. Two Michigan farmers currently on USB will complete their third and final 3-year terms in December 2022. MSC, as Michigan’s Qualified State Soybean Board, is responsible for seeking qualified, interested candidates to consider for appointment.
 
Qualified candidates for each position must be a soybean producer engaged in the growing of soybeans in the United States and owns, or who shares the ownership and risk of loss of, such soybeans. All eligible soybean producers are invited to seek nomination for a seat on USB. For convenience, USDA-AMS has provided two forms at their website (https://www.ams.usda.gov/rules-regulations/research-promotion/soybean) which need to be completed and returned to MSPC no later than May 2, 2022 to be considered for nomination and possible appointment. Specifically, the two forms are:

• United Soybean Board AD-755 Form- Advisory Committee Membership Background Information
• Nominee's Agreement to Serve Form

 
Completed forms may be emailed to Janna Fritz at [email protected] to arrive no later than May 2, 2022. Questions may be directed to Janna Fritz at 989.652.3294.
