The Macon County Farm Bureau recently adopted a new legislator.

Tim Stock, Macon County Farm Bureau Executive Vice President, indicates following the resignation of Sen. Heather Steans, the Farm Bureau adopted Adriane Johnson (D-Buffalo Grove).

Stock notes the Macon County Farm Bureau has been involved in the Adopt-A-Legislator program for many years. He says it is a great way to educate urban legislators about agriculture and rural communities.

The Illinois Farm Bureau started the Adopt-A-Legislator program in 2001, with 73 legislators participating to date.
