ASA Action Partnership

The ASA Action Partnership (ASAAP) was started in 2011 to create a new level of communication, commitment and partnership between stakeholders for building a stronger, more secure soybean industry, now and in the future. ASA, state affiliates, state and national soybean checkoff organizations, and related industry members are aligned as strategic partners through ASAAP in pursuing and protecting the interests of U.S. soybean growers and their ability to farm profitably.

Significant opportunities and challenges exist across the value chain for stakeholders. These issues are often complex, and in many cases, well-funded opposition advances agendas that negatively affect modern production agriculture and limit soybean growers’ freedom to operate.

ASAAP collaborators include state and national checkoff organizations, soybean processors and exporters, technology providers, seed companies, crop protection companies, ag equipment and transportation companies, among others.

ASAAP’s role is to:

• Identify and address the challenges and issues facing our industry
• Develop an action strategy and allocate necessary resources to achieve strategic objectives and goals

As a member of ASAAP, organizations may have up to two individuals participate in two meetings throughout the year. The first meeting is held in March, in conjunction with the ASA March Board of Directors Meeting. The second meeting is held in August and rotates to a different location each year. The Partnership includes the ASA Executive Committee and other ASAAP member organization leaders.
