Communications Squad
The Communications Squad is a unique opportunity for soybean farmers looking to accurately share the story of modern agriculture with consumers, media personnel and more. The group meets twice annually to receive timely information on the biggest topics in agriculture and build valuable communications skills that help empower farmers to serve as the industry’s leading spokespeople.
The cost of meals, lodging and transportation will be covered by ISA.
