IFB Vice President Evan Hultine, myself and IFB Directors Larry Dallas, Jeff Kirwan and Brent Pollard hosted University of Illinois President Timothy Killeen and other U of I leaders at the IAA Office in Bloomington as part of the university’s Leadership State Tour. We had an insightful discussion and explored tactics to expand our partnership and provide value to IFB members and students pursuing careers in agriculture.
