The Iowa Soybean Association hosted several grower engagement meetings this summer, including this one in Odebolt, Iowa, where over 50 farmers gathered to hear updates on the latest policy issues.

The American Soybean Association (ASA) appreciates the generous support provided by FMC, over the past two years, to help several state associations hold successful meetings to engage members in discussions on key policy and industry issues.

The meetings also provide an opportunity to help non-members become more aware of the association’s work and recruit new members. Recent events organized by the Iowa Soybean Association and Missouri Soybean Association attracted hundreds of farmers to several meetings throughout these states. Farmers had the opportunity to hear from key policy experts and congressional leaders on issues that directly impact their operations.
