SDSA & Checkoff Feature
The South Dakota Soybean Association (SDSA) represents member producers of all sizes, giving them all a strong voice in the formation of legislation and public policy that affects the long-term profitability of soybean producers and the industry as a whole.
SDSA is funded in part by voluntary membership dues. SDSA is different from the South Dakota soybean checkoff because SDSA has the ability to advocate on behalf of legislation. By law, checkoff dollars cannot be used for advocacy.
