The LLCC Ag Club, a collegiate member of the Illinois Farm Bureau, finished its celebration of National Food Checkout Week with a scramble to collect food at a local Aldi in Springfield. Food Checkout Week is the last week in February and recognizes that Americans have earned enough disposable income by then to pay for all their food for the year. Americans pay less that 10% of their disposable income for food, the lowest rate in the world. The Ag Club had two members, Dalton Bartz of Jacksonville and Sam VanRheeden of Mt. Pulaski, volunteer to get as much food as possible in two minutes. They were supervised by the Ag Club treasurer Alexis Carroll. After planning their run, they loaded up their carts with non-perishable food items. After paying for the items, they were delivered to the Central Illinois Foodbank. The activity was sponsored by Growmark, the parent company of FS.
