Illinois Farm Bureau Documentary Previews at Annual Meeting

Farmers and the agricultural research community joined forces in a new Illinois Farm Bureau-produced documentary highlighting Illinois’ progress in reducing nutrient loss. Centered around the Ganschow (gan-shaw) family in Bureau County, the hourlong documentary, titled “Sustaining Our Future: A Farm Family Story”, illustrates how three generations of farmers have approached sustainability. During the filming of the documentary, Jim Ganschow unexpectedly passed away. IFB dedicated the documentary in his memory in respect and honor of the values and demeanor he lived by and the legacy he left behind. Here’s his son Michael.

 

 

The documentary also highlights the role of scientific research in the process and includes perspectives from Louisiana Farm Bureau on the hypoxic zone in the Gulf of Mexico.
