Based on his record of support for Illinois farmers and the agriculture industry in the state, the Illinois Farm Bureau has named State Representative Adam Niemerg a 2026 “Friend of Agriculture”
“Agriculture is the lifeblood of the Illinois economy” Niemerg said. “Illinois is a leading ag producing state. We feed the nation and the world here in Illinois. I am committed to preserving the rich history of family farming in our great state. It is an honor to receive this award.”
