The AgMazing Race
Don’t miss this NEW adventure-style team challenge that aims to highlight what makes Illinois agriculture unique while raising funds for statewide & local ag literacy programs! Teams will strategize their route & earn points by participating in farm tours, completing ag challenges and lessons, finding unique locations & hidden gems, & fundraising as a team. 
Due to low registration, we have made the difficult decision to cancel the AgMazing Race. We would like to express our gratitude to Calhoun & Jersey County Farm Bureaus, as well as the following local farms and business for their willingness to serve as hosts:
- Billy-Bob Products
- Fritz Meat and Processing
- Grafton Winery
- Hagen Family Orchard
- Jersey County Grain
- Midwest Tractor Supply
- Murray Farm
- Odelehr's Roadside Market
- Ray Family Farms
- Ringhausen Apple House
