The Christian County Farm Bureau is playing host to many different groups like local farmers and young people with an interest in agriculture. Mathew Heberling, President of the Christian County Farm Bureau, says the winter meeting sessions went well and the Young Leaders group is preparing for an eventful summer.
The Tractor Drive initiative garners funds for scholarship opportunities and for the popular educational program “Ag in the Classroom”.
As agriculture remains a dominant market in the State of Illinois, Heberling notes that outreach and awareness are the focus to attain a knowledgeable and passionate workforce. Heberling calls the farm bureau the voice of local farmers, staying current on the latest legislation and proposals.
