IL Corn made a significant impact at the Illinois State Fair, engaging with both consumers and elected officials. Fairground visitors were introduced to the role of corn in decarbonizing the transportation sector through IL Corn’s sponsorship of the tram service, emblazoned with the message, “Corn is fueling Illinois.”

IL Corn Growers Association members also made their presence felt on Ag Day, where farmer leaders met with three members of the House Agriculture Committee. These discussions emphasized the critical need for passing a new farm bill, highlighting the importance of continued support for family farmers.

In addition to these key meetings, IL Corn maintained a strong presence throughout the fair with advertisements at concerts and around the fairgrounds, countless media interviews, and participation in political events and fundraisers. Their efforts underscored the vital role corn plays in both Illinois’s economy and the future of sustainable agriculture
