December 4, 2025 | Brock Johnston
Ankeny, Iowa — Eastern Iowa farmer Brian Strasser will serve as district 6 director for the Iowa Soybean Association (ISA). His appointment was made by the ISA Board of Directors during a November meeting.
Strasser’s appointment to the board follows a seat vacancy in district 6, which includes Benton, Cedar, Clinton, Iowa, Linn, Jackson, Johnson, Jones, Muscatine and Scott counties. He will complete the remainder of a two-year term and is eligible to serve three consecutive three-year terms following.
“We are pleased to welcome Brian to our board,” says ISA President Tom Adam of Harper. “He’s committed to our mission of serving Iowa soybean farmers and working for the long-term success of the soybean industry.”
Brian and his wife Vicki are the fifth generation to live and farm the family farm. They grow soybean and corn in a no-till system and own a custom hog finishing facility.
Strasser has been a strong advocate for the soybean checkoff and long-time participant in ISA programming, including ISA’s Soy Leaders Network, Grassroots Fellowship and Experience Class. He is vice president of the Iowa County Farm Bureau and has been involved in his local church. Strasser earned a degree in computer science from Indian Hills Community College and works for Advanced Agrilytics.
“It’s an honor to represent Iowa’s soybean farmers in this role,” says Strasser. “In the next decade, soybean farmers need the strongest leadership we can provide. My basis in agronomy promotes the future of combining conservation agronomy, carbon programs, emerging markets and the fundamentals of farming for a profit.”
ISA is governed by a board of 22 volunteer farmer-directors who meet throughout the year to develop the association’s policies and programs. Directors are elected by Iowa soybean farmers in July and take office in September. Members vote for two farmers from their crop reporting district and vote for four at-large directors.
