Producers in central Illinois are concerned about a couple of policies that are greatly impacting agriculture and were able to voice their concerns to a local lawmaker last week.

At the Super Bowl of Agriculture, State Senator Chapin Rose attended the busiest day of the annual Farm Progress Show and says the talk amongst Illinois farmers is the estate tax and energy costs.

The Mahomet Republican is tired of just stopping bad legislation and is working towards bringing forward and passing positive legislation. He says there is some positivity on that front.

Sen. Rose was recently instrumental in legislation that prohibited the storage of carbon below the Mahomet Aquifer as a part of carbon sequestration.
