Great to see @rep_jackson so invested in the crops we planted this spring. He’s followed the markets and weather all season and came back to see how the crop did. Farmers are at the forefront of many changes, so it means a lot to have him see what that looks like from the field.

Surreal moment to throw out the first pitch at a big-league ballgame. Thank you to the @Cardinals for having me, and to the hardworking Illinois farmers and ag professionals we represent!

Met with @GovPritzker at the Governor's Sale of Champions and expressed gratitude for the opportunities at the @ILStateFair for our youth and the way we get to showcase Illinois agriculture.

Appreciate the opportunity to speak with @kairyssdal on @Marketplace about what farmers are facing when it comes to trade.

Tuesday’s celebration honoring Country’s 100th year in business allowed me to reflect with our affiliate company CEO’s and leadership about what Illinois Farm Bureau’s past leaders provided to create such impressive businesses serving our members and communities.

Now is the time to act. Illinois family farms are at a turning point and your voice can make the difference. I'm asking you to contact your state Senator and Representative to help protect generational farms for the future. on.ilfb.org/43q7CSb

Great day yesterday hosting British Consul General Richard Hyde on the Duncan Farm! Always a pleasure to build relationships with our international partners and showcase the strength of Illinois agriculture. @UKinChicago

I returned to Springfield yesterday for the 55th Annual Ag Legislative Day. In every meeting, I emphasized that as the General Assembly enters its final stretch, passing the Family Farm Preservation Act remains a top priority to our members.

Thank you @DonHarmonIL, @SenDorisTurner, @SenNeilAnderson, Sen. Sally Turner, Sen. Andrew Chesney and all the Senate leaders who took time to discuss the future of family farms and key issues impacting our members. Grateful for the conversation and your time.

I was proud to represent IFB in receiving AFBF’s New Horizon Award for our #WeAreThe96 campaign! This achievement is made possible thanks to the collaboration of our partners in the @ILFarmFamilies Coalition: @ILFarmBureau @ILSoybean @ilcorn @MidwestDairy @ilbeefassoc & IL Pork

I'm here to confidently represent @ILFarmBureau members and the hardworking farmers of Illinois!

I'm excited to announce something new for all of you! We've created a conference designed to give you an advantage in the ag industry. Join me on March 13-14 in Peoria! on.ilfb.org/4fZBtFn

Thank you, Senator, for taking time to meet with @ILFarmBureau VP Evan Hultine & I to talk about the role of ag trade & farm labor in securing a strong farm economy. We appreciate your commitment to supporting Illinois agriculture!

Major appreciation to @SenatorDurbin & @SenDuckworth for meeting w/VP Hultine & I to talk about ag issues impacting @ILFarmBureau's farmer members. Thank you for your commitment to supporting Illinois farm families & working with us to find ways to enhance the farm economy.

We are pleased AFBF’s decision gives us the same outcome as the injunctive relief we were seeking. This is a positive step forward in our pursuit of remaining a member of AFBF and continue working together for the common good of our farmer-members.

Serving farmer members has been @ILFarmBureau's focus for 100+ years. The success of that service is directly impacted & aided by the success of #COUNTRYFinancial. I joined @ritafrazer to discuss the important relationship between our organizations: on.ilfb.org/4intYuk
