The difference between membership and the Soybean Checkoff
Managed by the North Dakota Soybean Council, a state agency, every North Dakota producer invests soybean checkoff dollars. Joining the NDSGA is a choice you can make to support the industry the soybean checkoff cannot. Learn how to become a member of the NDSGA here.
