During the week of February 9th, the Illinois Association FFA Major State Officers traveled across the state with the Illinois Foundation FFA on our Annual Business and Industry Tour. Throughout the week, we had the privilege of connecting with numerous supporters in the agricultural industry to network, learn, and advocate for both our industry and organization.

We would like to extend our sincere thanks to Bayer for hosting us during the tour. Your partnership played a key role in making our experience successful, and we truly appreciate the opportunity to visit and learn more about your work and impact on Illinois agriculture.

The world’s farmers need to grow 50% more by 2050 to feed, clothe and fuel the growing world. At Bayer, they believe feeding the world and restoring the planet can – and should – go hand in hand. Increasing crop production and reversing global warming were once considered incompatible, but we now have solutions to do both. It’s time to make them available to more farms around the world. That’s why at Bayer, they are innovating together with a growing number of farmers and partners to advance regenerative agriculture as the way of the future – a future where farming produces more and restores more at the same time.
