Members & Officers

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.
