BY:SCOTT LUO/OCT 14,2011 Michigan soybean grower Andy Welden has been named vice chair of ASA's World Initiative for Soy in Human Health (WISHH) Program in 2011-2012, according to American Soybean Association (ASA) President Alan Kemper. Welden, who farms in Jonesville, says WISHH is creating new markets for U.S. soy protein in developing countries. "In college it was programmed into me that I would be feeding the world, and it didn't seem like I had made much of a difference…but with WISHH I feel like I am more directly having an impact," said Welden. "Through WISHH, these soybean leaders are blazing trails to new markets for the U.S. soybean industry," Kemper says. "Developing countries are driving protein demand as the global population grows. Raising low-income consumers out of poverty is the most important factor in future global demand for food, and WISHH has the strategic plan to help them at the same time we expand the U.S. soy market." "Fifty years of U.S. soy market development have shown that helping people understand how to use soy for nutrition, both for human health and for livestock production, increases worldwide demand for U.S. soy," says WISHH Executive Director Jim Hershey. The potential appetite for protein is projected to increase by 75% by 2025 compared to 2001, according to research from the National Soybean Research Laboratory. In addition to Welden, the WISHH officers include: David Iverson of South Dakota as chair, Barb Overlie of Minnesota as secretary, and Pat Dumoulin of Illinois as treasurer. Kemper also confirmed extensions for WISHH Program Committee Members: Ken Bartlett, North Carolina; Dan Farney, Illinois; Scott Fritz, Indiana; C.W. Gaffner, Illinois; Jared Hagert, North Dakota; Lucas Heinen, Kansas; John Heisdorffer, Iowa; Monica McCranie, South Dakota; Darrel McGriff, Indiana; Jack Trumbo, Kentucky; Randy Van Kooten, Iowa, and Bill Wykes, Illinois.
