IAA Annual Meeting

Every year Farm Bureau offices across the state gather to meet for the Illinois Farm Bureau Annual Meeting. This meeting provides a place for each office to be represented by a team of delegates. Edgar County Farm Bureau  understands the importance of its members being represented and sends a team of delegates each year. During the annual meeting, delegates discuss and debate Farm Bureau policy as well as connect with member from different districts. Different sessions offer insights and future outlooks for the delegates to return to their home offices. Many state legislatures also attend the ILFB Annual Meeting, and the governor addresses all of the Illinois Farm Bureau delegates.
