requests for proposals
The South Carolina Corn and Soybean Boards invest farmer checkoff dollars into projects that strengthen the future of corn and soybean production in our state.
From research and on-farm innovation to outreach and education, funded projects aim to improve productivity, sustainability, and profitability for South Carolina growers.
These farmer-led boards review proposals each year to ensure funds are directed toward efforts that deliver real value to the industry and its producers.
