How IFB Served YOU in May

  • IFB earned seven communications awards from AFBF, which noted that “FarmWeek embodies the essence of top-quality journalism in service to farmers across Illinois.”

  • The Illinois Farm Families Coalition earned national recognition from the National Agri-Marketing Association for building consumer trust with the “We Are the 96%” campaign, which kicked off with a 30-second Super Bowl commercial in 2023.

  • Building off IFB members’ advocacy efforts in April, the IFB State Legislative and Environmental teams successfully prevented SB 771, SB 3669 and HB 5386 from passing this year. The three bills aimed to broaden environmental regulations over wetlands, regardless of size, placing undue burdens on Illinois farmers and landowners.
