Richland County

I'm Tony Graves, a third-generation dairy farmer, and the treasurer of the Illinois Milk Producers Association.

Me and my family, we milk cows and raise hay and grain at our Richland County farm.

I believe Illinois agriculture is stronger in part because of our state's robust livestock industry, which provides market opportunities that keeps farmers farming, and allows future generations to remain in their communities.

As we recognize the contributions livestock brings today and look ahead to the future, it is critical that each of us lend our support to this important industry.
