Welcome to the Vision for Illinois Agriculture website

The Illinois Agriculture Legislative Roundtable has identified the need to develop a vision to grow and enhance the Illinois food and agriculture industry. Illinois Farm Bureau President Philip Nelson, former Illinois Department of Agriculture Director Chuck Hartke, and University of Illinois Dean of Agriculture Bob Easter provided oversight to initiate the effort.

A planning team has been formed that represents various sectors of agribusiness and production agriculture in Illinois. Planning team members represent sectors ranging from agriculture equipment, agriculture finance, biosciences, food and agriculture processing, production agriculture, agriculture energy, specialty agriculture, academia, and state government.

The goal of the vision project is to identify and develop strategies that will enhance and grow the competitiveness of Illinois food and fiber industry.
