President Duncan of the Illinois Farm Bureau, introduces the "Duncan Download" e-newsletter and a podcast to enhance member communication and policy discussion. At the 2024 American Farm Bureau Federation Annual Convention, the Illinois Farm Bureau successfully integrated a range of policies into the AFBF policy book, focusing on areas like food waste, biofuels, and young farmer support. Key issues addressed included farm labor reform and Proposition 12's impact on agriculture. The convention also saw the Illinois Farm Bureau's Young Leaders excel, and Ogle was elected to the AFBF Board of Directors, continuing the impactful work of his predecessor, Richard Guebert Jr.
