The ASA All-Stars Recruiter Tournament matched 128 of ASA’s top recruiters in head-to-head matchups. During the entire tournament period these top recruiters recruited or renewed more than 700 soybean producers.

"The Recruiter Tournament is a fun, yet competitive way, for these dedicated soybean producers to get other soybean producers to join the important work ASA and our state organizations are doing to promote and protect their freedom to operate," said Bob Worth, ASA Member & Corporate Relations Committee Chair.
