ISA » Animal Agriculture

Why is animal agriculture vital to the success of the Illinois soybean industry?

Because livestock, poultry and aquaculture are our best customers!

As No. 2 in the nation for soybean production, Illinois soybean farmers:

• Have the resources to help support the growing need for animal and fish products.
• Should champion the development of new and expanding livestock, poultry or aquaculture production facilities in our communities.
• Can capitalize on animal agriculture opportunities to bring growth to local economies, employment and tax revenues.
• Must stay informed, share information and educate others about the importance of these industries to the Land of Lincoln.
