Membership

The Illinois Soybean Association (ISA) is the only organization devoted to the state’s soybean growers and dedicated to producing results in Springfield and Washington, D.C. As a grassroots, membership-based organization, ISA focuses on those regulation and legislative issues that can potentially affect soybean profitability.

Soybean growers who contribute to the Illinois soybean checkoff are NOT automatically members of ISA. Soybean checkoff dollars cannot be used to fund legislative efforts. ISA depends on its dues-paying members to support the association’s political activities.

  • - Four, $25 biodiesel certificates to be redeemed through a participating fuel retailer (new and expired renewed members only)
