Applications are now being accepted for Ag Voices of the Future, a program for students, held in conjunction with the summer American Soybean Association Board meeting and Soy Issues Forum from July 6-9, 2020, in Washington, D.C.

Ag Voices of the Future gives college students an inside look at how agricultural policies are made in Washington, along with education on effective advocacy and the significant legislative, trade and regulatory issues that impact farmers.
