Rotary Rural Urban Night
Wednesday, June, 22 Ropp Jersey Cheese Farm, Normal Photos provided to Limited Ray and Carol Ropp hosted the Normal Rotary Club and their guests enjoyed the sunny evening, the supper and the chance to judge four Lincoln ewes brought by Mike Rader. The featured speaker was Rich Guebert, president of the Illinois Farm Bureau, who describes himself as “a recovering dairyman.” He raises corn, soybeans and wheat at his farm in southern Illinois. Many urban residents of Illinois incorrectly think that most of Illinois farm land is owned by corporations, he said. Most farmland is owned and operated by families. Illinois Farm Bureau has an “adopt-a-legislator” program, which links state lawmakers to downstate farmers for a taste of the ag experience and to exchange ideas.
