				 Upcoming Agribusiness Seminars are scheduled across the state to 
				assist farmers on a variety of topics, including Federal Crop 
				Insurance offerings, navigating the crop insurance claims 
				process should devastation hit your farm, and a market outlook 
				on grain prices for 2020. 
 “We are excited to connect with our COUNTRY clients, Farm Bureau 
				members and others interested in information that will help them 
				better plan for the 2020 crop year in Illinois,” said Doug 
				Yoder, COUNTRY Financial Crop Agency Manager. “These meetings 
				proved helpful during a rough 2019 and assisted many of our 
				clients to be in better positions to overcome the weather 
				challenges they faced because they better understood the 
				resources available to them. I encourage all Illinois farmers to 
				find the nearest Agribusiness Seminar this winter and plan on 
				attending.”
