About us
The Iowa Soybean Association (ISA) is the country’s largest state soybean association and is governed by an elected volunteer board of 21 farmers. ISA develops policies and programs that help growers expand their profit opportunities, such as creating international marketing programs for U.S. soybeans, supporting the renewable fuels industry, and promoting the development and consumption of foods that contain soy. The association promotes environmentally sensitive production, such as no-till farming, nitrogen testing and the creation of environmental management systems for individual farmers. ISA also funds production research aimed at growing soybeans more efficiently and profitably. The organization strives to make soybean production a profitable, worthwhile and environmentally safe way to farm.

Celebrating #IowaAgWeek and the important role #Iowa 🌱 soybeans play in feeding and fueling the world. Ranking second in the nation for soybean 🚜 production, Iowa produces nearly 14% of the total 🇺🇸 U.S. #soybeans. These versatile soybeans are crushed into two components—meal and oil—to create a variety of products. The high #protein and amino acid content of soybean meal make it an ideal #feed source for 🐷🐮🐔 #livestock. Soybean #oil is used to create everyday products, including cooking oil, ⛽ #biodiesel, tires, 📖 ink and much more. Funded by the soybean checkoff.
