When you look good, you feel good. What a surprise to receive a soymeal-inspired design from MSGA member Vivian Evans, who made this jacket decades ago for her late husband John S. Evans, a farmer leader whose father, John W. Evans, was a past MSGA & American Soybean Association president.

Pres. Darin Johnson paused from spring planting preparations to host TF1, France's largest TV network, on his Wells farm. Darin gave a tour of his farming operation, explained how tariffs impact U.S. ag & the soy industry's hope for a quick resolution to current trade disputes.

ASA leaders are #farmers first, but they know it’s critical to maintain existing global markets for #soybeans & to expand markets through new free #trade agreements. That’s why their work doesn’t stop when they park the combine but continues in D.C. #AgPolicy
