Please join the U.S. Grains Council (USGC) in congratulating Western Hemisphere Advisory Team (A-Team) Leader Bill Christ on being selected as one of four 2015 Master Farmers by Prairie Farmer magazine.

Christ has undertaken significant work on both his Metamora, Ill., farm and in his community, leading to his selection of this honor. Christ is one of only 300 Illinois farmers ever to be selected as Master Farmer or Honorary Master Farmer, a recognition bestowed on individuals distinguished by work on their farm, in their communities and beyond.

Congratulations, Bill!
