Bloomington, Ill. – The Illinois Soybean Association (ISA)
elected new leadership during its annual public meeting on July
22 in Champaign, Ill.
At the meeting, Bryan Severs was elected Chairman of ISA,
replacing outgoing Chairman, Ron Kindred. Severs is a
third-generation farmer in Vermillion County, where his family
raises corn, soybeans and cattle. He has served as ISA’s
District 7 Director since 2020 and previously took on additional
leadership roles including Treasurer and Soybean Production
Committee Chairman. Severs also currently serves as Chairman of
Specialty Soya and Grains Alliance (SSGA) and as an American
Soybean Association (ASA) Director.
“Throughout these past five years of serving on the Illinois
Soybean Board, I have seen first-hand the value the organization
brings to soybean farmers,” said Severs. “While serving as
Treasurer and chairing the Soybean Production Committee, I saw
the staff and resources evolve to better meet the needs of
farmers for years to come. On behalf of the 43,000 soybean
farmers in Illinois, I look forward to seeing what the ISA Board
can achieve together in the next year.”
