ANKENY — Crop insurance, property taxes and transportation are critical issues affecting agriculture and will be discussed when directors and delegates gather for the Iowa Soybean Association’s annual meeting and policy conference Wednesday, Dec. 12, in Ankeny.

ISA President Mark Jackson says the meeting is the culmination of district advisory council meetings held this fall. The goal is to effectively adapt soybean policy to changing times.

“I find it to be an exciting time to express our opinions to other soybean farmers while establishing direction for ISA’s legislative, regulatory and trade efforts,” said Jackson of Rose Hill. “Getting involved is the best way to achieve our mission of expanding opportunities for Iowa’s soybean growers.”
