Who is Illinois Farm Bureau?
Illinois Farm Bureau is a grassroots organization founded more than a century ago by Illinois farmers who understood the power of coming together to shape the future of agriculture. Today, Illinois Farm Bureau and its network of county Farm Bureaus give members an advantage through impactful advocacy, trusted information and meaningful development.

Together, we work to improve the economic well-being of agriculture and enrich the quality of farm family life.
