Show Us Your Boots!

IAITC is currently requesting video submissions from 4H and FFA Members, as well as farm kids from around the state, to “show us your boots.” IAITC hopes to showcase the diversity of Illinois farms and farm families and the many “boots” they wear to get their work done on the farm. These videos will be posted on IAITC’s social media accounts from March 20 through April 20 of this year. If you’re interested in submitting a video, please email Chris Wyant, IAITC Education Manager, at cwyant@ilfb.org.
