The
American Soybean Association (ASA) Board of Directors
approved the creation of a political action committee
(PAC) during its December 2004 meeting. SoyPAC, as the
committee will be known, provides U.S. soybean farmers
with another tool to positively impact the important
issues facing the U.S. soybean industry.
The Fifth
Annual Soy Social and Auction "California Dreaming" was a
great time, and a record-setter, thanks to the sponsors and the
many people who participated on March 4, 2010 at Commodity Classic
in Anaheim, Calif. A record 431 people registered for the auction.
ASA is grateful to all who participated in the spirited bidding
and thanks them for their support, which will be used to benefit
SoyPAC, ASA’s political action committee.
Many thanks to our sponsors:
