Mark your calendar to spend the day in Bloomington-Normal on Tuesday, November 21. First thing that morning, the Illinois Corn Growers Association will hold its annual meeting. Following that at the same location, the WILL Radio Farm Assets Conference will be held. There is a $35 registration fee for the Farm Assets Conference. There is no fee to attend the ICGA Annual Meeting. Not an ICGA member? Join us anyhow and consider becoming a member. Our members tell us their top two reasons for joining are for representation in Washington DC and in Springfield, and because it’s the right thing to do.
