The Liberty Bell

In late 2021, we had the privilege to attend the Illinois Farm Bureau Annual Meeting in Chicago. This was our first time attending, and we had no idea what to expect. We had the opportunity to learn about some of the issues that matter to you, our clients, and we cannot wait to learn more in the coming months as we become more active in our local farm bureau. We were also able to network and get to know some people throughout our community and state who are working hard to improve the way we as an agriculture community operate, as well as how we are perceived by our non-ag peers. We even had the opportunity to speak with some government representatives about issues important to us as a community.

Finally, our local farm bureau was awarded the prestigious Liberty Bell award, which is a traveling award presented to counties across the state each year for top governmental affairs and advocacy work. Congratulations, Kankakee County, Chad Miller, and all of the other award winning counties for their hard work this year!
