Iowa’s ISA and ASA Directors “STORM” the Hill |
||||||||||||
| Directors from the Iowa Soybean
Association (ISA) headed to our nation’s capitol – Washington
D.C. – on July 11-13. They spent the first two days in American
Soybean Association (ASA) board meetings and elections. And day three
was spent “storming” the Hill, sending Iowa’s soybean
growers’ message to our state senators. Topics Iowa’s ISA
and ASA directors covered with our senators included an extension on the
biodiesel tax incentive, the Central American Free Trade Agreement (CAFTA),
the upcoming Farm Bill, installing new locks and dams on the Upper Mississippi
River and funding for soybean rust research and rust prevention. Iowa’s ISA and ASA directors on this trip included Dan Beenken of Bancroft, Denny Friest of Radcliffe, Ray Gaesser of Corning, Ron Heck of Perry, John Hoffman, ASA’s new vice-president, of Waterloo, Glen Jannsen of Arlington and Curt Sindergard of Rolfe, Iowa.
