News & Media

Stay informed. Stay connected. Stay ahead.

In agriculture, timely, accurate intel can make all the difference. Trusted information is part of the Illinois Farm Bureau Advantage, consisting of the news, insights and other resources that help members make informed decisions, understand the issues shaping agriculture and stay connected to their communities and our organization. Trusted information is one of the three pillars of the Illinois Farm Bureau Advantage because informed members are better equipped to navigate change, seize opportunities and advocate for agriculture.

Whether you prefer to read, listen, watch or follow along on social media, Illinois Farm Bureau offers a variety of ways to stay connected. Members have access to award-winning agricultural journalism through FarmWeek, FarmWeekNow.com and the RFD Radio Network, providing trusted coverage of markets, policy, weather, rural issues and the people driving Illinois agriculture. Partners magazine delivers stories that highlight member experiences, Farm Bureau programs and the impact of agriculture across the state. Our library of podcasts offers convenient, on-the-go conversations with farmers, experts and industry leaders, while our social media channels provide timely updates, educational content and opportunities to engage with agriculture in real time.

Illinois Farm Bureau also serves as a trusted source for news organizations and the public through our Newsroom, where reporters can access the latest press releases, statements and organizational updates.

Together, these resources ensure our members receive reliable, relevant information from a source they know and trust — helping them stay informed, strengthen their businesses and remain connected to the issues and opportunities that matter most to Illinois agriculture.
