The Facilitating Coordination in Agricultural Education (FCAE) Team is pleased to announce the release of the 2025 Illinois Agriculture, Food, and Natural Resources (AFNR) Annual Report, a comprehensive summary of accomplishments, developments, and statewide impact within Illinois agricultural education and FFA during the past year.
The 2025 report showcases significant achievements in classroom instruction and leadership development across all regions of the state. It highlights innovative teaching practices, strengthened community partnerships, and the continued excellence of Illinois FFA members and agricultural educators.
The 2025 Illinois AFNR Annual Report is now available in digital format at this link. Stakeholders are encouraged to review and share the document to further promote the continued growth and impact of agricultural education in Illinois.
Special recognition is extended to Casey Bolin, District 5 FCAE Program Advisor, for leading the development of the report, and to Sierra Force, Graphic Designer at the Illinois State Board of Education, for her contributions to the publication’s design.
Hard copies of the publication will be available at the beginning of 2026 and also distributed to agriculture teachers during the Winter IAVAT Section Meetings.
