Celebrating the future of Agriculture has long been the mission of the Champaign County Farm Bureau Foundation and the organization’s 11th Annual Harvest Gala will do just that. Over the years, the Harvest Gala has brought together a broad audience of farm and business leaders, community members, and concerned citizens who share one goal – to provide a brighter future in the agricultural industry.
