Your Kids Can Milk A Real Jersey Cow At This Free 1930s Farm In Illinois

A Jersey cow here lets kids try milking her by hand, and the farm doesn’t even charge admission. That alone made me sit up and pay attention. The whole place runs like a 1930s working farm in northern Illinois. Goats, donkeys, sheep, chickens, and huge Belgian draft horses all live here, and wandering the farmyard costs nothing.

Save Our Bacon Act is a threat to agricultural freedom | Letter

At Hazzard Free Farm, I don't grow just one commodity — I steward diversity. I grow heirloom corn, wheat, oats, rye, barley, clover and biodiversity. I treat my animals with care, I incorporate them into the landscape and I work to build a food system that reflects what our community needs. I capture nutrients and build soil, I catch water and create habitat. I create life in abundance. This relationship with land only works when states and local communities can set the standards that reflect their values. The Save Our Bacon Act threatens that entire model. It's federal overreach dressed up as agricultural freedom. In reality, it strips states of the power to set agricultural standards and hands that power to the federal government — which has been captured by global industrial operations. Illinois voters and communities will decide what agricultural reality we want in our state. That's not a radical idea; it's called democracy.

One Illinois Farmer’s 10-Year Quest to Find the Most Profitable N Rates

Eric Miller has learned an uncomfortable truth about nitrogen fertilizer use: The total rate that makes his corn look best isn’t the one that makes him the most money. Miller has proven that repeatedly on his Piatt County, Ill., farm. After conducting more than 20 nitrogen (N) field trials since 2015, he’s found that his most profitable, total nitrogen use is considerably lower than what many Corn Belt farmers apply.
