and the gas pump, its policies most greatly impact the people and communities too often overlooked by leaders in Washington — the family farmers and rural communities who sustain the heartland. The people I’m honored to represent in Congress.
While Illinois may be home to the third-largest city in the U.S., our state’s No. 1 economic engine isn’t big business up in Chicago — it’s agriculture downstate. And counties in the congressional district I serve in central and southern Illinois are the top producers of corn and soybeans, helping our nation net billions of dollars in exports every year.
Decatur, 50 miles west, is known as the Soybean Capital of the World and is home to both Archer-Daniels-Midland, one of the world's largest nutrition and bioenergy companies, and the Farm Progress Show, one of our nation's largest annual farm events focused on the future of agriculture. Too many small towns are being left behind with limited access to health care services, high-speed internet and healthy food. Aging infrastructure and the rapid transformations happening in our economy are only making our struggles worse. But, the Farm Bill plays a crucial role in addressing these issues.
