President Biden is visiting Illinois today, and will spend time with the people at OC Farms in Kankakee.
Biden will fly to OC Farm in Kankakee, where he’ll be welcomed by Rep. Robin Kelly, who represents the area. OC describes itself as “a sixth-generation traditional Midwest farm built on a Christian foundation,” according to its Facebook page.
Farm out: Biden will use the setting to address the impact the Russian invasion on Ukraine is having on the world’s food supply — and prices at home and abroad. He’ll also address his administration’s efforts “to give farmers the tools and resources they need to boost domestic food production,” according to the White House. Biden is also expected to announce an increase in the number of counties eligible for double cropping insurance, an increase in tech-driven methods to improve soil, and funding for domestic fertilizer production.
After visiting Kankakee, he will visit and speak to the crowd at the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers’ International Convention at McCormick Place in Chicago.
