On March 13, high school agriculture students from across the state gathered in Springfield to participate in Illinois Ag Lobby Day, an event where they advocate for the agriculture industry. The annual event is a platform for farmers, representatives from ag industry associations, and members of high school FFA chapters to come together and voice their support for agriculture in Illinois.
During the event, Senator Fowler highlighted the significance of the students' participation, stating, "It’s a great experience for the students to get involved at a young age and underscored the importance of agriculture as the state’s top industry."
The purpose of Illinois Ag Lobby Day is to ensure that legislators are reminded of the vital role that agriculture plays in the state's economy and to advocate for policies that support the industry. This event serves as an opportunity for the future leaders of the agriculture sector to engage with lawmakers and make their voices heard on issues that impact their industry.
