Agriculture. Hartke will provide an overview of issues, information
and the economic impact of agriculture in Illinois. The highlight

Bill Sahs, chairman of the Ag Day event, emphasizes that the
scholarship program and breakfast for the community would not be
possible without the generous support of local businesses. Sponsors
will be listed on a keepsake coffee mug and recognized during the
event through vendor tables, promotional giveaways and a PowerPoint
slide presentation.
There is no charge to attend the breakfast, but a reservation is
required. RSVPs must be received prior to 5 p.m. today (Monday) and
may be made by calling (217) 735-2385.
