How IFB Served YOU in April
-
I testified before members of the Illinois House Revenue and Finance Committee in support of the Family Farm Preservation Act, an IFB initiative that addresses undue estate tax burden on family farms.
-
During a two-day visit to Washington, D.C., IFB met with eight congressional offices about advancing a farm bill, finding a legislative fix for Prop 12, enhancing trade, and more.
-
IFB partnered with the Illinois Secretary of State’s office to expand farm-use CDLs, allowing Class B or Class C CDL holders to drive Class A covered farm vehicles (CFV) without having to upgrade their CDL to a Class A.
- IFB secured a statewide black vulture depredation permit from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Farmers can receive a sub-permit through a simple one-page application process.
- The IAA Foundation Scholarship Program awarded $151,501 to 89 students across 44 counties, continuing IFB’s investment in future agricultural leaders.
