Hi fair managers!
After working to simplify the record keeping system between IL AgEd and the IL Department of Ag, we have received confirmation from IDOA that your pro-rata has been issued and loaded into the AgEd website.
If your fair has already occurred, please unlock your fair (if it was locked) and then re-lock before you print the fair report. Send it to the address on the first page after you get it notarized. Send it with tracking to confirm delivery to Springfield.
Pro-rata grew this year to $2225.98 per section. Illinois Department of Ag will be sending pro-rata payments to the fair managers within the next couple of weeks. They may be sent electronically or by check, I can't tell you how that is determined (but I believe the state prefers electronic payments to your school). Please let your bookkeeper know to be looking for a payment in this amount.
You will receive the pro-rata funds within the next few weeks, even if you have not yet held your fair. Hold onto them in your FFA/Fair account. Once you hold your fair, you will pay the students according to the fair report you print out (even if you have to pay students from another school). This is the process that IDOA has approved. If you have questions please call me and I would be glad to explain more.
