Former Illinois Farm Bureau president Ron Warfield is reflecting on his ten year run holding a key ag leadership post. Ron Warfield of Gibson City served in the position from 1993 to 2003.
Warfield says one of the things he’s most proud is helping launch an Illinois Ag Roundtable—featuring a number of key players in the industry working for a common cause.
The Ford County native says the ag roundtable was key in winning support from former Illinois Senator Carol Mosely-Braun in passing the 1996 Farm Bill. She was the 60th vote needed for passage of the legislation.
