In a Jan. 17 Facebook post, Sen. Sally Turner (R-Lincoln) cheered Illinois being named a top soybean producer in 2022.
“Proud to be a farm family in Illinois!” Turner posted.
In her Facebook post, Turner shared a news article from WANDTV, which reported an announcement from the Illinois Soybean Association: "...the National Agricultural Statistics Service of the U.S. Department of Agriculture estimates Illinois soybean farmers raised 677.25 million bushels on 10.75 million harvested acres with an average yield of 63 bushels per acre."
The Illinois Soybean Association shared a news release as well, with a comment from Steve Pitstick, a Maple Park farmer and Chairman of ISA. “I’m proud to be able to congratulate my 43,000 colleagues across the state on this announcement. Illinois soybean farmers have gotten really good at making the best of whatever growing challenges confront them, making smart management decisions, and maximizing production opportunities, and 2022 was no different. We have proven once again that we know how to roll up our sleeves and put the sweat equity into producing a high-quality product and raising a record-breaking crop.”
Turner assumed her seat in the Illinois Senate in 2021. Her legislative experience includes serving on the Ethics Committee and Senate Higher Education Committee. Turner resides in Beason.
