Belleville – The Mon-Clair Corn Growers Association recognized U.S. Congressman Jerry Costello (D-IL) for his dedication and long history of support for agriculture at the Association’s annual meeting, January 30, 2012, at Lou & Michelle’s Banquet Center in Waterloo. Costello was presented with a plaque to commemorate the occasion by Greg Guenther, Mon-Clair Corn Growers President.
“Farmers in general and corn-growers specifically help feed the world and produce the raw material for many other segments of our economy, such as energy production,” said Costello. “I was honored to be recognized by the Mon-Clair Corn Growers for my past support and look forward to continuing our work together in the future.”
