Illinois Farm Bureau Did you read the AP article about animal antibiotics? Did you also know that your antibacterial soap can develop antibiotic-resistant bacteria? In fact, experts estimates that 96% of antibiotic resistance in humans is due to human use of antibiotics and is not from farmers using antibiotics to keep animals healthy. (source: Pork Checkoff)

Illinois Farm Bureau It’s been a tough year for General Motors. As a result, GM will not renew its partnership with IFB. If you want to take advantage of the $500 offer, you will need to purchase your new vehicle by Monday, January 4. Please call your county Farm Bureau for details.

Thanks for the heads up Karen. It's unfortunate that someone would use this holiday message to make a "statement." We'll try to revolve the problem quickly. Thanks!

Illinois Farm Bureau Across the state, farmers are making the tough choice to step out of their combines and into the big city of Chicago for the IFB Annual Meeting. Why make the sacrifice during this challenging harvest? Because this meeting is where your grassroots ideas become Farm Bureau policy. This policy acts as a road map to our lo...bbying efforts. The meeting starts tomorrow and we’ll follow the events here on Facebook.
