Washington D.C. (KTRS) U.S. Senator from Illinois Dick Durbin is working with soybean growers in the wake of a tough planting season.

The Senator met with the Illinois Soybean Association yesterday to discuss crop conditions, biodiesel markets, lock and dam upgrades, and Chinese tariffs.

Durbin said, “Our soybean farmers are facing many challenges, and I stand ready to help any way I can.”
