Calendar

Program: Rural Urban Day
Presenter: Abe Trone
Consider bringing a guest. Our speaker is from the Lena Veterinary Clinic and traveled last summer as part of a select group of Illinois Farm Bureau leaders on the IFB Market Study Tour of the European Union nations of England, Denmark, Germany, Holland, France, and Belgium. The team of 16 observed livestock production practices and heard about regulatory policies in these nations. Abe’s presentation is quite interesting and eye-opening. I hope you will join us for this special program.
