BLOOMINGTON – An area ag professional was the keynote speaker at this year’s McLean County Chamber of Commerce Ag Awareness Breakfast, targeting his speech to the young people in attendance.

Sean Arians is the grower direct lead with Advanced Agrilytics and spoke to the FFA’ers and 4-H members at the event held in Bloomington. Arians discussed the food and supply chain which farmers have a place in and the role young people can play in the future.
