The Illinois Corn Growers Association will hold in-person listening sessions throughout the state to help prepare for the 2023 Farm Bill. As a grassroots organization, we value farmer input to help develop our policy platforms.

Each session is free of charge for attendees and will start with a meal, followed directly by policy discussions led by farm broadcaster Jeff Nalley.

All Illinois Corn Growers Association members are encouraged to attend, but an 
electronic survey is available to those unable to attend an in-person session.

We will continue to schedule sessions throughout 2022, so please check back for future dates. RSVP below for the week of December 13th:

When the federal government shuts down, farmers feel the effects in their fields, finances, and futures. Government programs through the USDA can hurt farmers when not operating.
