The Indiana Soybean Alliance (ISA) is recognized by the Secretary of the U.S. Department of Agriculture as a Qualified State Soybean Board (QSSB), as defined in the Soybean Promotion & Research Act (SPARC) (soybean checkoff program) for the State of Indiana to manage the Indiana soybean checkoff program.  In addition, ISA has a membership & policy committee, not funded by checkoff, for the purposes of representing soybean farmers on critical policy and regulatory issues affecting the soybean industry. In August 2007, the ISA board of directors created an Aquaculture Initiative as part of the ISA's Strategic Plan. The program focuses on increasing the use of soybean meal in Indiana farm-raised fish diets through the growth of the state's aquaculture industry.
