Dear ASA Members,

This Christmas season, as we gather with family and friends, let us remember the reason we all celebrate.  While we take time to remember the gifts we all are so thankful to receive, we should also take time to remember those less fortunate than us and take this opportunity to give back to our respective communities.

What a blessing it is to produce and provide the food, fiber and fuel that our communities, nation and the world need.  As I sit back and consider all the work we do in and out of the field, I’m filled with gratitude for our entire soybean team and the opportunity to serve as your President.

The coming year holds the promise of new opportunities, along with challenges, and we will face them together as a unified force not only to improve the lives of our fellow soybean producers, but for all areas of agriculture.

So from West Texas, my wife Valerie and I, and our children Kelcie, Brittany, and Alan, would like to wish you a joyful and Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year.

Wade
