Illinois agriculture thrives thanks to passionate leaders. To honor their contributions, the Illinois Soybean Association (ISA) established the annual Achievement Awards, recognizing those who strengthen the industry.
ISA’s Farm Family of the Year Award recognizes an Illinois farm family who is actively engaged in ISA’s membership program, shows commitment to ISA programming and has demonstrated impact in their community and across the industry.
The recipients of the Farm Family of the Year Award are Ron, Deb and Michael Moore. Ron and Deb Moore, along with their son Michael, raise corn, soybeans and cattle in Roseville, Illinois. Ron has held key leadership roles, including President of the American Soybean Association and Chairman of the Illinois Soybean Association, and is a strong advocate for sustainable farming. Deb has served in various leadership roles with the Warren County Board of Supervisors, Illinois Cattlewomen and other civic organizations. The Moores also actively connect with urban and international audiences to promote modern agriculture. Michael, a graduate of Illinois State University, is a previous Soy Ambassador and currently a crop insurance agent.
