It is essential for farmers to have a legislative team that fights as hard for their futures as they work for their crops. Our legislative team is dedicated to ensuring that our organization advocates on issues that impact farmers. IL Corn has redefined positions on the legislative team to further our advocacy efforts in Washington D.C. and Springfield, IL. 

 

Our association’s dedicated legislative team is a vital asset to address policies related to agriculture, renewable fuels, conservation, and trade. The team’s work guarantees that farmers’ voices are valued and heard.
