It's "Off The Charts" - the Third Annual ASA Social and Auction at Commodity Classic

On February 28, 2008, the Third Annual Soy Social and Auction "Off The Charts" will be the happening place to be during Commodity Classic in Nashville, Tennessee.  "We are delighted that Cargill, Inc. and Rabobank will sponsor the auction again this year," said SoyPAC Chair Kristin Weeks-Duncanson.  "More than 200 ASA members attended last year's auction and it was not only a huge success to benefit SoyPAC but it was a lot of fun as well".
