U.S. Soybean Farmer-Leaders Help to Lead Global Oilseed Industry

United Soybean Board (USB) and American Soybean Association (ASA) farmer-leaders will soon join representatives of oilseed industries from around the world to discuss issues that impact everyone during the 16th International Oilseed Processors Dialogue (IOPD). Such issues include transparent approval processes, sustainability and global demand.

In addition, U.S. farmer-leaders will also discuss issues specific to the soy industry with their soybean-growing counterparts from South America when the annual International Soy Growers Alliance (ISGA) meets.

Farmer-leaders who will be on the call and available for interviews include :
  • Jim Call, USB chairman and soybean farmer from Madison, Minnesota
  • Bob Haselwood, USB vice chairman and soybean farmer from Berryton, Kansas
  • Laura Foell, USB Meal Action Team Lead and soybean farmer from Schaller, Iowa
