LEE COUNTY — Illinois Farm Bureau® (IFB) created Agricultural Leaders of Tomorrow (ALOT), an agricultural leadership development program designed to give participants a head-start on tackling tomorrow’s responsibilities.
Twenty-one IFB members representing seventeen counties have successfully completed the 40th ALOT program. Evan Quinn, Franklin Grove and Matt Schoenholz, Paw Paw, represented Lee County as part of this year’s program. The 2019 ALOT sessions were held in Oglesby, Cambridge, Polo, Springfield, and Bloomington. To date, over 1,000 participants have graduated from the program since its inception.
The nine-week training program allows participants to study and develop leadership skills in the areas of communication, political process, agricultural economics, and global issues.
The Illinois Farm Bureau is a member of the American Farm Bureau Federation, a national organization of farmers and ranchers. Founded in 1916, IFB is a non-profit, membership organization controlled by farmers who join through their county Farm Bureau. IFB represents two out of three Illinois farmers.
