Legislation introduced in the House by an Illinois representative and 11 other bi-partisan colleagues would expand market opportunities for producers by building relationships between farmers and food distribution networks.

The best advice often comes from peers who have worked through the obstacles to build profitable resilient farm operations.

These incentives will help producers expand their climate stewardship and empower more producers to be leaders of America’s ongoing efforts to build innovative conservation systems. 

The Land & Legacy Scholarship, in partnership with Powerflex Supply and administered by the National Grazing Lands Coalition, provides financial support for farmers and ranchers interested in attending any of Noble Research Institute’s 2025 educational courses.

Learn what other Illinois growers and graziers are doing on their farms to improve their livestock grazing operations. The quarterly online chats will be heavy on conversation, light on slides, so you can listen in wherever you are: in the pasture, in the truck, or home.

The Illinois Grazing Lands Coalition, in collaboration with the Illinois Forage and Grassland Council, is proud to announce the launch of a new educational initiative: The Illinois Grazing and Forage Hub. Known simply as “The Hub,” this free, farmer-focused online platform is designed to help Illinois producers improve pasture management and grazing practices, regardless of experience level.
