With Jim Larkin taking the reigns as interim Director of the IL Dept of Agriculture, Jerry Kirbach is now overseeing Jim's former role in the Bureau of Ag Products Inspection, overseeing the anhydrous ammonia, fertilizer, seed and feed regulatory programs.  Our industry continues to be very fortunate to have good people in these positions at IDA who understand the day to day operations of our members and will work with the industry to resolve issues that arise.  Staffing is very tight at IDA with all the state budget problems so we need to fully support IDA and the important role that they have in the success of Illinois agriculture.
