Sponsorship & Support

The Crop Protection Network (CPN) is supported by funding from the United Soybean Board (USB), the National Corn Growers Association (NCGA), and the Grain Farmers of Ontario (GFO). Specific CPN projects are supported by the North Central Soybean Research Program (NCSRP), the U.S Wheat and Barley Scab Initiative, and the North Central Integrated Pest Management (NC-IPM) Center. Several checkoff programs also support CPN including individual state and national programs.

Additionally, CPN programming is supported by Extension organizations at participating land-grant universities and through the United States Department of Agriculture National Institute of Food and Agriculture (USDA NIFA) Crop Protection and Pest Management (CPPM) Competitive Grants Program.

A Note Regarding United Soybean Board Collaboration:

United Soybean Board’s 78 volunteer farmer-directors work on behalf of all U.S. soybean farmers to achieve maximum value for their soy checkoff investments. These volunteers invest and leverage checkoff funds in programs and partnerships to drive soybean innovation beyond the bushel and increase preference for U.S. soy. That preference is based on U.S. soybean meal and oil quality and the sustainability of U.S. soybean farmers. As stipulated in the federal Soybean Promotion, Research and Consumer Information Act, the USDA Agricultural Marketing Service has oversight responsibilities for USB and the soy checkoff.
