The North Dakota Soybean Council oversees a soybean research program based on farmer priorities to ensure that research remains focused on the challenges farmers face today.  Farmers and researchers familiar with pertinent soybean research issues form the NDSC research committee.  This committee identifies farmer priorities, sets the Council's research objectives, and requests studies to meet these priorities.  The primary goal of the North Dakota Soybean Council's investment in research is to increase soybean farmers' opportunities for increased soybean quality, greater yields, better pest and disease control, and expanded market options.
