How The Challenge Works

If you're involved in soybean production in Illinois and want to take the next step toward becoming a leader in the soybean industry both domestically and globally, then the Soy Ambassador Leadership program is for you. Applications will be accepted through July 1, 2012.

The Illinois Soybean Program Operating Board (ISPOB) manages and invests soybean checkoff funds.
Separately, the Illinois Soybean Association (ISA) administers legislation and membership programs.
