University of Illinois Collegiate Farm Bureau

We’re excited to continue our Tomorrow’s Leaders Today radio segment on FarmWeekNow RFD Radio Network! This series highlights the leadership and impact of County and Collegiate Farm Bureau members who are shaping the future of Illinois agriculture.

This month, we’re featuring Jackson Ehlers from the University of Illinois Collegiate Farm Bureau Chapter and a member of the Edgar County Farm Bureau. In his interview, he discusses the chapter's membership growth and the impact of their Harvest for All project on the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign campus.

Tune in on the 2nd and 4th Tuesday of each month on the RFD Radio Network as we spotlight the individuals behind the programs and celebrate the leaders who are driving Illinois agriculture forward.
