This year at the 2015
Illinois State Fair, the best place to explore all that Illinois agriculture
has to offer is at the new and improved Illinois Department of Agriculture
tent. The tent has been moved from its location in the “Heartland” area to the
corner of Central Avenue and Main Street,
east of the Coliseum. It is the perfect
place to learn about how Illinois agriculture affects the everyday lives of
people in Illinois and globally. Check
