The Tennessee Soybean Promotion Board (TSPB) is
the Qualified State Soybean Board (QSSB) for Tennessee producers in the
national checkoff program. TSPB promotes the growth and development of
our state's soybean industry by investing checkoff funds in research,
advertisement, promotion, education, and market development. The board
membership is composed of nine soybean producers from across the state.
The Tennessee Soybean Association, the Tennessee Farmers Co-Operative,
and the Tennessee Farm Bureau Federation each make three nominations to
the Commissioner of Agriculture who selects one member from each nomination
list. Board members are selected for three-year terms with the limitation
of two consecutive terms. TSPB members are prohibited from using checkoff
funds for lobbying purposes.
