“Whether as a voter, candidate or both, we thank Iowa soybean farmers for engaging in this important process,” said Suzanne Shirbroun, ISA president and soybean farmer from Farmersburg. “As a farmer-led association, their participation contributes to the success and longevity of ISA and our industry.”
Directors are elected by Iowa soybean farmers in July and take office in September. Members vote for two farmers from their crop reporting district and vote for four at-large directors. The seven directors elected join 15 full-time soybean farmers in developing ISA’s policies and programs each year.
