MSR&PC is made up of an elected board of 15 soybean producers from across the state. On behalf of Minnesota's approximately 30,000 soybean farmers, they direct the investment of soybean checkoff dollars in international and domestic marketing programs, research projects, and education & technology transfer programs designed to increase the profitability of soybean production.

The Minnesota Department of Agriculture holds commodity council elections in various crop reporting districts across the state on an annual basis. Each director is elected to a three-year term.
