The 2024 ISA Experience Class will meet July 22-24. It will explore various industries related to soybeans and ISA and allow attendees to make connections with state and national soy industry partners.

“The ISA Experience Class provides participants with an exclusive glimpse into ISA’s efforts for Iowa’s soybean farmers, all while emphasizing the value of their checkoff dollars,” says Kennady Henry, ISA producer services coordinator.

Ben Lehman an ISA farmer-member from Slater in Polk County will attend his first Experience Class.
