A contingent from University of Illinois Extension and the College of Agricultural, Consumer and Environmental Sciences traveled to Springfield recently for the 2024 Illinois Agriculture Legislative Day to gather bi-partisan support for initiatives strengthening agriculture-related measures within the state. The state of Illinois is a leading producer of soybeans, corn, and swine as well as many other specialty crops.
The day was organized by the Illinois Department of Agriculture and featured opening remarks by IDOA Director Jerry Costello II and Lt. Governor Juliana Stratton. Speakers included Senator Dorris Turner, Senator Win Stoller, Representative Sonya Harper, and Representative Charles Meier.
