SDSA MEMBERSHIP: AN INVESTMENT IN THE FUTURE OF SOYBEAN FARMING By Drew Peterson, SDSA Director, District At Large, 2019-20 Young Leader These are volatile, exciting, and sometimes scary times depending on whose ideas you hear that want to shape our farms and the way we farm them. Take some relief in knowing that the South Dakota Soybean Association is working with our political leaders to both enhance and protect what we do on the farm. While our elected officials can’t talk to every farmer on every issue, they do talk to us at the South Dakota Soybean Association. As farmer directors, we are all soybean farmers. We meet in person, over Zoom, and on the phone with political leaders and their staff to work through policy issues and how they affect us. Our voice as soybean farmers is heard, and it helps those in office better serve and advocate for all of our soybean farmers. We are their constituents, after all!
