Kansas Soybean Commission joins Soy Transportation Coalition

The Soy Transportation Coalition (STC) is pleased to announce the recent addition of the Kansas Soybean Commission as a member organization. Kansas becomes the 8th state soybean board to join the STC.

The Kansas Soybean Commission’s board of directors decided to join the STC at their March 18 meeting. Jerry Wyse, a producer from Haven, Kansas, will be the organization’s representative to the STC board.

“I am pleased to be the Kansas Soybean Commission's representative to the Soy Transportation Coalition board," Wyse explains.  "Transportation has a significant impact on the profitability of soybean production not only in Kansas, but the entire nation as well.  It is therefore essential for farmers to be actively engaged in this critical issue to ensure our transportation system reflects the needs of rural America.  I look forward to working on this important initiative."

Dean Campbell, a soybean producer from Coulterville, Ill., and Chairman of the STC, says, “The board of directors of the Soy Transportation Coalition welcomes the Kansas Soybean Commission as a sponsoring organization. Our transportation challenges are both local and national in scope. Having broader participation among the soybean producer community will expand our impact and effectiveness as an organization. We look forward to benefiting from Jerry’s involvement on the board.”
