Nelson receives Farmer of the Year award

Former Illinois Farm Bureau president and Seneca farmer Phil Nelson was honored today with Senator Mark Kirk’s inaugural Farmer of the Year award.  Senator Kirk says Nelson received the award for his countless contributions to Illinois, the economy, and the livelihood of thousands of farmers throughout the state.

Nelson served as Illinois Farm Bureau president from 2003 to 2013 and he and his wife own a fourth-generation farm near Seneca where they grow corn, soybeans, alfalfa, and run a cow-calf operation.
