Illinois Wheat Association's annual summer wheat forum is back. On August 23rd, the forum will take place at the World Shooting Recreational Complex in Sparta from 4 to 9 p.m. This time, they have a special guest speaker named Greg "Machinery Pete" Peterson. He's famous for his show "Machinery Pete TV" on YouTube and RFD-TV, where he talks about farm equipment and machinery. At the forum, he'll be sharing stories from the auction trail and discussing the latest trends with used farm equipment values.
The forum will have lots of interesting things to see and learn about. There will be industry exhibits featuring seed companies, millers, elevators, crop protection services, drone services, and other ag-service industries. You can explore different aspects of farming and get to know how things work in the wheat industry.
If interested, you can register on their website at illinoiswheat.org. Tickets are $25 for Illinois Wheat Association members and $50 for general admission.
The Illinois Wheat Association does many important things for the wheat industry, from helping farmers to promoting marketing alternatives. They also represent their members in state and federal legislative activities. For more information, visit their website illinoiswheat.org, or email Megan Dieken at mdieken@ilfb.org.
