Candidates for the ISA Board are required to have been engaged in the growing of soybeans in Indiana in the last two years. Candidates must certify that they own the soybeans or share the ownership and risk of loss of the soybeans.
Voting occurs in July. Ballots will be distributed to Indiana soybean farmers by mail. Those farmers elected in July will begin serving on the ISA board of directors in December 2017.
ISA has four voting districts in the state and farmers elected to the 24-member board of directors will serve a three-year term. Eight seats — two in each district — are up for re-election. To find a listing of current ISA farmer-directors, visit www.indianasoybean.com/about-us/directors.
