About us
The Indiana Soybean Alliance (ISA) is a statewide organization that strives to improve the viability of Indiana soybean farmers and industry partners. ISA represents more than 20,000 soybean farmers in Indiana through two primary roles; the state soybean checkoff and legislative and regulatory advocacy efforts: Through the soybean checkoff, ISA funds market development, economic and environmental on-farm programs, consumer outreach, new soybean uses and value creation projects. ISA membership and Policy Committee manages membership and advocacy efforts that support Indiana soybean grower interests in local areas, Indianapolis and Washington, D.C. No soybean checkoff funds can be used to fund the membership and policy area efforts.

Some people find fulfillment and identity in their careers. Others are motivated by money to work harder. For Keevin Lemenager, he values providing for his wife, April, and their two sons Baylor, 7, and Brigham, 9. On their Morgan County farm near Monrovia, Ind., the Lemenagers spend their days working on the farm, taking care of responsibilities and enjoying family time.

It's that time of year again! The Producer-Led Challenge is gearing to kickoff in September tackling real on-farm problems using technology. Though the "official" scope hasn't been released yet, I can give a sneak peak - this year's Challenge will be focused on easing the administrative and labor management burdens on the farm.
