Customers Swear The Deli Meats At These 10 Illinois Sandwich Shops Are A Cut Above The Rest

One Illinois deli has been slicing corned beef cafeteria-style since 1942, and it still hands you a tray. Another shop has been building Italian subs since 1937. That’s older than sliced bread’s big boom in most kitchens. I love that these counters didn’t chase trends. They stuck with...

Rural voters send message on farm policy, economic pressures

Economic pressures facing small communities are reshaping what rural voters expect from their elected leaders. Rising production costs and pressure on agricultural exports are among top concerns for Illinois communities. Michael Happ, program associate at the Institute for Agriculture and Trade Policy, pointed to a county-level analysis, which found the state's 80 rural counties moved an average of 6.5 percentage points toward Democrats compared with the 2024 presidential election. Happ thinks the results send a clear message. "I see these results as a rebuke of status quo farm policy. There are a lot of people who are commodity farmers that are reliant on exports, and this administration has been chipping away a lot of the pillars of that kind of agriculture without providing alternatives," Happ explained. University of Illinois researchers found fertilizer costs were 37% higher in 2025 compared to five years earlier. And despite some improvement, the average return to farmers' labor and management remained in the red by more than $23,000. Happ pointed out tariffs on agricultural exports and rising input costs have put additional pressure on farmers who depend on international markets. He added the concerns rural voters are weighing can look very different from one community
