ISA Experience Class
The ISA Experience Class has a new look this year. The class will meet for three days and will have the opportunity to travel across the state of Iowa to tour and have conversations about the soybean industry. Participants will develop insights on soybean research, new uses, transportation, communications, policy and more! We want you to be involved with and benefit from this program!
