Chamber Ag Day Breakfast March 18

[March 11, 2010]  The Lincoln/Logan County Chamber of Commerce and partnering sponsors invite you to the 11th annual Ag Day Breakfast on March 18 at 7 a.m. at Lincoln Christian University's Laughlin Center. This is a free community event to Logan County residents. This unique event provides a networking environment for both agriculture and business leaders. The purpose is to recognize the economic impact of agriculture in Logan County.

During the breakfast this year the program will include an informational ag update from hometown gal Katheryne Stoll Rehberg, who is with ADM Corn Business Unit and a product manager. She will discuss exciting advancements in agriculture and how these advancements affect our local farmers and economy.

The ag scholarships will also be awarded. In the 11-year history of the breakfast, $49,000 has been awarded in scholarships to area students. The chamber's ag committee feels that the investment in these local students is key to the future of agriculture in Logan County.

The breakfast directly reflects the committee's mission to enhance the Logan County economy by strengthening agriculture and business relationships, exploring and implementing value-added opportunities, developing and marketing agritourism attractions, and encouraging natural resource management.

Although this is a free event, hosted by the chamber's ag committee and made possible by local business sponsors, reservations are required. Anyone interested in attending may make reservations by calling the chamber at 217-735-2385.

The breakfast is an important part of the mission of the chamber to serve the membership through a commitment to the economic prosperity of Lincoln/Logan County.
