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. 🌽⛽

Thank you to the more than 1,300 Illinois Farm Bureau members who answered the call to action and made their voices heard.

We also thank members of the Illinois Congressional delegation, Rep. Mike Bost, Rep. Darin LaHood, Congresswoman Mary Miller, for listening to farmers and supporting passage of the Farm Bill in the U.S. House, along with the House Ag GOP Committee and Chairman G.T. Thompson for their leadership.

THE TIME IS NOW! Support the Farm Bill.

TAKE ACTION: Use the link in comments to email your U.S. Representative and urge a YES vote.

The U.S. House of Representatives is expected to consider the 2026 Farm Bill this week.
Farmers have gone without the certainty of a new Farm Bill since 2023. It’s time for Congress to pass a modern, five-year Farm Bill that reflects today’s agriculture.

Here’s a quick catch-up so you know where this important piece of legislation stands:
✅ House Ag Committee → DONE
🔄 House Floor Vote → IN PROCESS
⏳ Senate Consideration & Conference → NEXT
