(BLOOMINGTON) Efforts made by Illinois Farm Bureau members and coalition partners were successful in stopping the State Senate’s vote on proposed wetland legislation, at least for now.

The proposed bill, Senate Bill 771 specifically targets all Illinois wetlands, regardless of size, plus it also introduces further uncertainty about the fees that could be imposed by the State DNR.
