One of the most effective ways our industry maintains a strong voice in Springfield is through the AG-SOLVE PAC. As a political action committee, AG-SOLVE PAC supports candidates who understand agriculture, crop inputs, and the critical role our members play in Illinois agriculture.

 

Political action committees allow industries like ours to collectively engage in the legislative process by building relationships with policymakers and supporting those who advocate for fair, science-based regulations. Through AG-SOLVE PAC, IFCA members are able to protect our industry’s interests and ensure agriculture continues to have a seat at the table when important decisions are made.

 

A key fundraiser for AG-SOLVE PAC is the annual auction held during the IFCA Winter Convention & Tradeshow on January 20–22. We are currently seeking donated items from our membership for both the silent and live auctions.

The donation deadline is December 31. Auction items will be available for viewing on IFCA’s website by January 5, allowing attendees to preview items ahead of the convention.

 

The Silent Auction will close on January 21 at 3:45 p.m., immediately followed by the Live Auction at 3:45 p.m. on the tradeshow floor.

 

Popular auction items include outdoor and sporting goods, tools, experiences, unique gifts, or items that showcase your company. Donating an item is a meaningful way to support AG-SOLVE PAC while gaining visibility among fellow IFCA members. All auction proceeds directly support the PAC’s efforts to advocate on behalf of Illinois fertilizer and agricultural input professionals.

 

We encourage you to consider contributing an item and supporting this important fundraising effort. Your participation helps strengthen our collective voice and advance the future of our industry.

 

To donate an item or for additional information, please contact Leslie Forrest at leslief@ifca.com or 309.827.2774.

 

Thank you for your continued support of AG-SOLVE PAC and IFCA.
