New Agricultural Club of America to Center Rural Control
A planned organization titled the Agricultural Club of America aims to centralize farm groups and finance major projects. It seeks a 35.9 million dollar headquarters near Chicago's Municipal Pier, claimed as the world’s largest building with vast exhibits, offices, and a tower. Organizers from farming, industry, and government back long term collaboration to aid farmers through a permanent central home, technical services, and financing for large projects. The group targets over six hundred thousand members from farmers, ranch owners, and farm-related industries across many states.
