(Quincy , IL) – Farmers, livestock producers, community leaders, members of 
commodity organizations, educators and citizens concerned about the future 
of food production in the Illinois are invited to a special seminar on March 
8, 2004. Faces of Agriculture, a non-profit organization whose mission is to 
return the human element to food production, will be hosting a seminar 
entitled “Backbone of your Community.” The program will begin at 7:00 pm at 
the Baldwin School Auditorium in Quincy , IL .

“This program will not only bring to light the many challenges facing those 
of us in food production, but we hope to offer solutions that producers can 
put to use the minute they leave this room,” stated organizer and speaker 
Trent Loos. “We will offer a call to action that will motivate resource 
providers in Illinois to stand up for an industry they believe in. There is 
no time for us to sit back and let special interest groups destroy food 
production in this state because of lies and anti-meat agendas.”

Illinois agriculture has recently been the target of many anti-ag activities 
including numerous nuisance lawsuits filed against family farmers and 
attacks on the river transportation systems. Producers are encouraged to get 
involved and educate themselves on the issues before they are legislated out 
of business by activists.
