A Renewal of Spirt and Resolve for Illinois Soy
The Illinois Soybean Association team is primed to put in place a number of exciting initiatives that create value and raise the profiles of Illinois soybean farmers as we enter a new fiscal year. We will lean into the same high-level of dedication and commitment you expect, guided by our new farmer leadership team, and frankly, we can’t wait to get rolling.
We embark on this transformative journey under the guidance of new Board Chairman Ron Kindred and Vice-Chair Brad Daugherty, Secretary Tim Scates, Treasurer Bryan Severs, and Assistant Secretary-Treasurer Dwayne Anderson.
We also want to extend a warm welcome to Montgomery County's Heath Houck, our latest Board addition, bringing fresh insights to enrich our strategies. ISA committees, led by Steve Pitstick for Government Relations, Brian Atteberry for Market Development, and Brady Holst for Soybean Production, will be leading our farmer-driven efforts to amplify your voice and create value for your soybeans through innovative program initiatives.
The projects these committees will lead are more than high-minded concepts; they are actionable, their outcomes are measurable, and they strategically align with ISA’s mission of education, promotion, advocacy, and research. These projects become the connective tissue of our community. Guided by our new leaders, ISA’s prospects are beyond limitations and your team is ready to stride forward in our ongoing saga of success.
As you prepare for Harvest ’23 and the long days ahead, know that the ISA Board and Staff is also preparing to harvest meaningful impacts and lasting results for the benefit of your farm and your family.
We wish you safety and success this harvest season.
