The Indiana Soybean Alliance (ISA), recognized by the Secretary of U.S. Department of Agriculture as a Qualified State Soybean Board, is a statewide organization that serves Indiana soybean farmers through checkoff, membership and policy programs.

ISA works with two national soybean organizations, United Soybean Board (checkoff) and American Soybean Association (policy), to meet demand, develop new uses for soy products, expand export markets and develop national policy.

Indiana’s Soybean Checkoff

Each soybean farmer contributes 0.5% of the net market price for each bushel of soybeans sold. Half of the collected funds are administered by the United Soybean Board (USB) and the other half is distributed to, and managed by, the ISA board of directors. ISA is recognized by the Secretary of U.S. Department of Agriculture as a Qualified State Soybean Board, as defined in the Soybean Promotion & Research Act, for the state of Indiana to manage the Indiana soybean checkoff program.

ISA’s volunteer board of directors, made up of elected Indiana farmers, manage the distribution of that fund into soy research, promotion and educational programs to increase demand, expand markets, and find new uses for soybeans.
