The Iowa Soybean Association (ISA) is the country's largest state soybean association, guided by an elected volunteer board of 21 farmers. It develops policies and programs intended to increase growers' profitability, including international marketing efforts for U.S. soybeans, support for the renewable fuels sector, and promotion of soy in food products. Based in Ankeny, Iowa, ISA operates as a mid-sized organization serving soybean growers through policy, program development, and industry collaboration. The association also promotes environmentally responsible production practices, such as no-till farming, nitrogen testing, and individualized environmental management systems for farmers. It funds production research aimed at improving soybean yields and profitability, supporting a more efficient and sustainable farming system. As a public policy entity in the agricultural sector, ISA seeks to align policy development, environmental stewardship, and research with the needs of soybean producers.
