Every few years, a healthy organization takes a close look at its direction and adjusts for the future. The Illinois Soybean Association (ISA) recently did just that.

Our Illinois farmland is some of the richest and most productive in the country and world, and we continue to enhance our land. While we’re certainly lucky to have tremendous soil in our backyards, it comes with responsibilities to serve the land and employ soil health practices.

When our soybeans don’t meet the needs of international customers and their own livestock industries, these buyers go elsewhere in search of amino acid sources. On a global scale, there are billions of dollars in soybean revenue at stake.

Illinois Farm Families (IFF) is a consumer engagement program representing all Illinois farmers through several state commodity groups. As a unified voice, IFF makes a greater impact with its consumer audience than these organizations would be able to do on their own.
