Illinois Ag Legislative Day is Wednesday and its big day at the state capitol. The day draws ag lobbyists and others to the capitol to talk to lawmakers about the Spring session.

Ag Director Jerry Costello says it’s a great day and what really stands out is the work done by members of the FFA and 4H who stop by during the day to visit with their local lawmakers.

Costello had been a state representative prior to serving as Director of Agriculture.
