IICFA

On Michael and Sharon's site, they detail their own experience and the reasons that became the catalyst for the action they took in forming the IICFA. It's what happens when individuals realize what the implications are not only for their own farm, but for the future of farming, and take action. And it's commendable that 4-H leaders came alongside to join forces and work together to educate and to meet this challenge head-on.

GREAT JOB, GUYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ILLINOIS:

Illinois HB 5776 was approved by the House Agriculture Committee by a 10-0 vote!
Like Colorado, Illinois is requiring children to register in NAIS in order to compete in the fairs. HB 5776 was introduced to reverse that policy.
The Committee approved a committee substitute that is much stronger than the original bill, and it will now be headed to the House floor.
