ISA directors also elected Jorgenson to serve as a director on the board of the American Soybean Association (ASA). Continuing to represent Iowa soybean farmers on the ASA board are Walton, Morey Hill of Madrid, Steph Essick of Dickens, Wayne Fredericks of Osage and Brian Kemp of Sibley.
“It’s our privilege to be stewards of farmers’ checkoff dollars,” Jorgenson said. “Leadership is never more important than in tumultuous times and I look forward to leading with this team of farmers.”
