A Thanksgiving Message from ASA President Ron Moore

Nov 23, 2017

Dear Soy Family,

Thanksgiving is time for reflection and gratitude. This year I’m especially grateful for your tireless work on behalf of the agriculture industry and soy growers across the country.

Agriculture matters; in fact a recent study commissioned by industry groups found that one-fifth of the U.S. economy and a quarter of American jobs are either directly or indirectly tied to food and agriculture sectors.

We provide food, fuel and jobs, which is why we must continue to advocate for issues that are important to soy and agriculture, like increased trade opportunities, updated transportation and infrastructure, a farm bill that improves the farm safety net and regulations that help growers farm.

As you sit with friends and family this Thanksgiving, I encourage you think about what you’re thankful for and know that my family is thankful for you and the work you do throughout the year.

Happy Thanksgiving,

The Moore Family
