Leaders often wear many hats, and Adam Kask is ready to add another to his decorated career, as he begins his new role as executive director of Wisconsin Soybean Association (WSA).  

“I am looking forward to working with the WSA board as its executive director,” Kask said. “Our farmer leaders are passionate about working on legislation that benefits Wisconsin’s producers and I’m excited to help them achieve that, both in Madison and Washington, D.C.”  

Kask, who has also served as executive director of the Wisconsin Soybean Marketing Board (WSMB) since 2023, is a U.S. Army veteran and well-versed in farm policy, market development and agronomy.

Kask says he is ready to use his experience to continue WSA’s legacy of working to ensure that Wisconsin soybean growers have a voice in Madison and Washington, D.C. Since 1973, WSA has served as the primary source of Wisconsin soybean information for legislators and political influencers. 

With Kask serving an integral role, WSA leaders believe the organization is in an even better position to advocate for sound, farm-friendly policies to support its members and Wisconsin’s more than 16,000 soybean farmers. 

“Adam brings valuable experience and energy to WSA,” said Sara Stelter, president of WSA. “His ability to work efficiently with WSA and WSMB will allow coordination yet maintain the individuality of each group.”
