THANK YOU to IFB members who took action this week to support year-round E15 sales! Your voices made a difference.
Today, every member of the Illinois delegation in the U.S. House voted in favor of the Nationwide Consumer and Fuel Retailer Choice Act of 2025, an important step toward greater certainty and stability for Illinois farmers.
This has been a priority issue for Illinois Farm Bureau members for more than a decade. We will continue advocating for this legislation as it moves to the U.S. Senate. 🌽⛽
