Illinois Farm Bureau is proud to highlight the work our members are doing to improve soil health and water quality through a documentary titled “Sustaining Our Future: A Farm Family Story,” which debuted Dec. 3 at the Illinois Farm Bureau Annual Meeting.
IFB Annual Meeting attendees viewed a 15-minute excerpt from the hour-long documentary, which follows the Ganschow family of Bureau County to illustrate how three generations of farmers approach sustainability. Their efforts are representative of the farmer spirit and collaboration required to achieve the goals of the Nutrient Loss Reduction Strategy, which involves the work of countless Illinois Farm Bureau members implementing solutions on their farms.
Illinois Farm Bureau leaders, staff and members can help amplify the story by sharing the video from the IFB YouTube channel here: youtube.com/ILFarmBureauIFB. To learn more about making of the documentary, check out this perspectives piece from staff who helped make it possible or visit our website for more information.
