Agriculture students from high schools across the state recently gathered in Springfield to make their voices heard on behalf of their industry. This event, known as Illinois Ag Lobby Day, brings together farmers, industry representatives, and members of high school FFA chapters to advocate for agriculture during the spring legislative session.

State Senator Sue Rezin 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 annual Illinois Ag Lobby Day serves as a platform for stakeholders to engage with legislators and emphasize the vital role that agriculture plays in the state's economy. By coming together and speaking up for their industry, these students are actively contributing to the ongoing dialogue surrounding agriculture in Illinois.
