Continuing to bridge the gap between rural and urban agriculture was identified as a top priority by delegates at the 2021 Illinois Farm Bureau Annual Meeting.
Mark Gebhards, IFB’s Director of Governmental Affairs says delegates gave the board more direction on how to increase the group’s presence in urban areas and strengthen connections with urban legislators, growers, and consumers.
“I see it as a way to sit down and talk about some of the things out there that they are concerned about and how Illinois Farm Bureau can play a part in helping find solutions for that.
