FARM Illinois is a business group of community leaders. It’s an initiative that brings together a cross-section of people involved in the manufacture of agriculture products. The two-year-old program enhances the fact that Illinois is a leader.

Governor Bruce Rauner addressed community leaders Friday and fielded questions about the expected record-yields here in 2016 .......

Rauner talked about the overall Illinois economy and how agriculture takes a leading role.
