Be among the first to field-test our new soy-based grease!

Sponsored by ISA's Soy Innovation Center, this grease is formulated with high-oleic soybean oil and designed to do more than match petroleum-based products. It aims to exceed their performance while supporting demand for the soybeans grown on Illinois farms.

Illinois farmers are invited to stop by one of ISA's offices to pick up a complimentary box of 10 soy-based grease tubes:

📍 Bloomington: 1108 Trinity Lane
📍 Lombard: 100 22nd St., Suite 102
📍 Springfield: 217 E. Monroe St., Unit 95

Put it to work on your farm, then share your feedback and help shape the future of soy-based lubricants.

Supplies are limited and available on a first-come, first-served basis.
