Recently, I attended the Commodity Classic with about 6,000 other people. Overall, this year’s event brimmed with information pouring out from 963 vendors and an excellent lineup of speakers.

Failure is not an option.
Get involved for the good of an industry that creates jobs and enriches lives -- join ISA today!
Anti-ag sentiment seems to be everywhere in today's world. From legislation designed to block the expansion of livestock operations to denials about the important role biotechnology plays in feeding an ever-growing global population, activists are working to put an end to American agriculture. That's why we need YOU to help support and influence key policies that will enable Illinois soybean farmers to be the most effective producers in the world.
When you join the Illinois Soybean Association, you are taking a stand against these pressures… adding your "Voice for Soy" to those of many other "agvocates" in Springfield and Washington, D.C.
Make Your Mark
Did you know that even if you contribute to the Illinois soybean checkoff, you are NOT automatically a member of ISA? Because soybean checkoff dollars cannot be used to fund legislative efforts of any kind, we must depend upon our dues-paying members to help support our political activities. For this reason, we leverage ISA's role as a grassroots, membership-based organization, so we can focus on those regulation and legislative issues that can potentially affect soybean profitability, such as:
- Sales tax exemptions and credits
- Infrastructure improvements
- EPA regulatory oversight
- Market access to Asia and Europe
- Farm Bill
Protect the Future of Your Family Farm
Whether you choose to join ISA as a one-year member for $95 or a three-year member for $195 (a $90 savings), you will receive several valuable benefits that more than double your investment! You also can choose to enroll your loved ones or employees under our affiliate program. No matter the route you choose, you automatically become a member of the American Soybean Association (ASA) when you become an ISA member.
It's Easy to Get Started!
Simply complete and submit our online membership form, email ilsoy@ilsoy.org or call (309) 663-7692. If you prefer, you may download and fill out a printable application, which you should mail to ISA at the address listed at the top of the form.
Stay up to date on all the latest ISA membership news through these press releases, documents and audio files.
