New IL State Delegation Meets Illinois Farmers

A poster for innovation grows here featuring farmers ' innovations to some of society 's biggest challenges

All members of the Illinois House and Senate received a copy of an Illinois Farm Families “Innovation Grows Here” brochure this week, detailing the innovative ways farmers can be a solution to challenges facing Illinois and our nation.

 

IL Corn saw an opportunity to engage with especially newly elected members of our House and Senate. We hope that this introduction to some of the farmers in Illinois is met with a willingness to learn more.

 

IL Corn remains a part of the Illinois Farm Families coalition, along with the Illinois Beef Association, Illinois Farm Bureau, Illinois Pork Producers Association, Illinois Soybean Association, and Midwest Dairy. These Illinois farm organizations use the coalition to help non-farmers understand farmers and their farming practices.
