A Kentucky Soybean Board Program

The Soybean Board will help pay for your first project.

BIORESTOR is a soy-based asphalt rejuvenator that helps Kentucky counties, cities, and villages get more years out of the pavement they already have. Right now there is funding to try it on your own roads, with most of the cost covered.

BIORESTOR, in partnership with the Kentucky Soybean Board, funded by Kentucky soybean farmers through the checkoff.

Limited first-time opportunity

The Soybean Board is helping cover the cost of your first project.

Eligible Kentucky counties, cities, and villages get 60% of a first-time BIORESTOR project covered by the Board, applied as a credit right on their bill. You never pay the full amount and wait.

Protect the roads you already paid for

Take good care of good pavement.

BIORESTOR is a soy-based treatment applied to asphalt to preserve and protect it. It adds natural oils back into the surface, slows the aging process, and keeps the pavement flexible so it holds up longer, without the loose stone of a chip seal. It is the step between doing nothing and paying for a full resurface or replacement.

As one road engineer put it, It is cheaper and easier to take care of a good road than to save a bad one. BIORESTOR has been field-tested since 2004 and is certified under the USDA BioPreferred Program at 95% biobased content.

Results that stretch a road budget.

Up to 40% longer life

In Darke County, Ohio, a soy-based asphalt rejuvenator extended serviceable pavement life by up to 40%, for roughly 13% additional investment compared to untreated asphalt.

We have applied BIORESTOR to every new pavement we have placed. Our roads easily see 14 to 15 years of service life. A pave-only system is too expensive.

Why the Soybean Board is behind it

A Kentucky crop, working on Kentucky roads.

BIORESTOR is made with U.S. soy. When Kentucky agencies choose it, they are putting a homegrown crop to work preserving local infrastructure, which is exactly why the Kentucky Soybean Board supports this program.

You would be working with a small, hands-on team that has been doing this for years, not a national conglomerate.

A look at the team behind BIORESTOR.

How it works

Three steps, no separate paperwork.

1

Reach out to BIORESTOR

Tell the BIORESTOR team about your roads and we will set up a consultation to walk you through the program.

2

Plan your trial stretch

Together we look at the road baseline condition and scope a 1 to 3 mile demonstration project that fits your budget.

3

Pay just your 40%

You contract the treatment with BIORESTOR. We bill you 40% and bill the Soybean Board the other 60%, so the credit is already built in. No separate paperwork or portal on your end.

A few quick answers.

How much does my agency pay?+

You pay 40% and the Kentucky Soybean Board covers the other 60%, up to $17,000 per agency. This is a cost share, not a reimbursement; the 60% shows up as a credit right on your bill, so you never pay the full amount and wait. Using the full cap works out to roughly a $28,000 project.

What is covered?+

Everything in the standard BIORESTOR application service, presented as a single per-square-yard price.

Which agencies are eligible?+

Any county, city, or village in Kentucky. Funds are first come, first served.

How much road are we talking about?+

Most projects run about 1 to 3 miles, roughly 25,000 square yards at an average 20-foot width.

How does the billing work?+

You contract the treatment with BIORESTOR. We bill you your 40% and bill the Board the other 60%. No forms or portal on your end.

Who do I contact, and how long is it available?+
