USDA to Adjust Representation on the United Soybean Board

The US Department of Agriculture (USDA) is amending a rule to adjust the number of members on the United Soybean Board (USSB) in response to changes in soybean production levels since the board's reapportionment in 2009, resulting in an increase in Mississippi representation from 69 to 70 members, effective for the 2013 nomination and appointment process.
