As usual, summer is flying by in the blink of an eye! 

Before your calendar is completely booked, don’t forget to register for the inaugural Clean Fuels Soybean Classic hosted by the Wisconsin Soybean Association (WSA) on Monday, July 29 in Evansville. The registration deadline is July 1. Registration is available at https://wisoybean.org/wsa/golf-registration/.  

“We are thrilled to host the inaugural Clean Fuels Soybean Classic,” WSA President Sara Stelter said. “It’s going to be a great opportunity to support WSA’s mission and to network with industry partners and growers from around the state.” 

Cost to participate is $100 per person, or $400 for a 4-person team, which includes 18 holes of golf, cart rental, meal and drink tickets. The tournament, which is also sponsored by the Wisconsin Soybean Marketing Board, begins with registration at 11 a.m. and a shotgun start at noon.  

Because Wisconsin soybean checkoff dollars cannot be used for advocating in Madison and Washington, D.C., WSA relies on membership and fundraising dollars to support its mission of ensuring that sound policies are in place to enhance the future of soybean farming. All proceeds from the Clean Fuels Soybean Classic benefit WSA’s work on behalf of Wisconsin’s nearly 14,000 soybean growers. 

“Wisconsin soybean growers need to have a voice at the table in Madison and Washington, D.C. but logistically it isn’t always feasible,” Stelter said. “That’s why WSA exists to be the number one source of soybean information for legislators and political influencers, as well as to increase public policy effectiveness.” 

Sponsored by Clean Fuels Alliance America, this is the first golf tournament fundraiser hosted by WSA. Clean Fuels works to support sustainable biodiesel, renewable diesel and sustainable aviation fuel industry growth and serves as the industry’s central coordinating entity for technical, environmental and quality assurance programs. Clean Fuels and WSA work together to present a strong voice for biofuel advocacy and communications in Madison and Washington, D.C. 

“WSA is proud to partner with Clean Fuels Alliance America for this fundraiser,” said WSA Vice President Doug Rebout. “Together, we stand in supporting biodiesel, renewable diesel and sustainable aviation fuel as a way to reduce our carbon footprint and support Wisconsin’s soybean farmers.”
