Also re-appointed by the governor is Laurie J. Isley, of Palmyra, a co-owner of Sunrise Farms, Inc., a family farm where they grow soybeans and corn.

The Michigan Soybean Promotion Committee develops procedures relating to the soybean marketing program and recommends amendments to the marketing program. The Committee prepares the estimated budget required for the proper operation of the marketing program, develops methods for collecting and auditing the assessments, and collects and assembles information and data necessary for proper administration of the marketing program.

Both appointments are subject to the advice and consent of the Michigan Senate.
