The Illinois Farmers Council joined U.S. Senator Richard Durbin and U.S. Representative Johnathan Jackson (IL-1) to discuss the 2023 Farm Bill, last week in Bloomington, Ill.

Senator Durbin said crop insurance will remain a priority in the bill set to expire on Sept. 30. “We have settled on crop insurance as the pillar to build the Farm Bill on,” said Durbin.

IL Corn Growers Association and Illinois Farmers Council President Matt Rush said the group examined a wide variety of agricultural topics in addition to their Farm Bill discussion. Rush said the group also weighed in on the impact of the Supreme Court’s recent ruling on Proposition 12 and the importance of rural broadband.
