Madison McClenning ’23 is pursuing a major in agribusiness management and a minor in environmental studies. In this issue, we are celebrating Illinois College’s deep roots in agriculture, IC’s growing agriculture programs and the career of Trustee Jim Spradlin ’82. Spradlin’s long career with GROWMARK inspired the company’s foundation to make gifts to IC in honor of his recent retirement, supporting the College and future leaders in the industry. Hear from Spradlin and other alumni working in the GROWMARK System about how their IC education prepared them for careers in agriculture in our special feature.
