It’s all about building relationships with a new Governor and General Assembly seated in Springfield. 

Illinois Farm Bureau is putting the wheels in motion this week with the Governmental Affairs Leadership Conference and one of the items being promoted is the organization’s ‘Adopt-A-Legislator’ program says IFB president Rich Guebert.

The Governmental Affairs Leadership Conference took place Tuesday in Springfield with more than 400 farmers participating and some of the issue sessions included such topics as trade, industrial hemp, and mental health.
