(Ankeny)--Eight farmers, including five incumbents, have been elected to the Iowa Soybean Association (ISA) board of directors. The association’s 22 volunteer farmer directors represent the state’s nine crop reporting districts in overseeing the management and allocation of soybean checkoff and non-checkoff resources.
Those re-elected to a three-year terms on the board include Paul Kassel of Spencer in District 1.
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. The eight directors elected join 14 full-time soybean farmers in developing ISA’s policies and programs each year.
Those continuing their service as directors include Brent Swart of Spencer in District 1and Neil Krummen of Linn Grove At-Large.
