Balloon construction fast but deadly

The first settlers in this area built rough log cabins, but as soon as sawmills and railroads made lumber available, they quickly switched to wood-frame houses. One of the fastest ways to build a two-story farmhouse was balloon framing, yet a small fire in the basement or on the first floor could race up the walls and destroy the entire house in a frighteningly short time.

Farmland Values Unchanged According to Farm Credit Study

Farmland values throughout central and southern Illinois held steady from last year, according to the 2026 study of 22 benchmark farms by the Farm Credit Illinois (FCI) appraisal team. Land values had a dramatic run-up beginning in 2003 until peaking in 2014. The first decline in more than a decade occurred in 2015 and continued a slight decline through 2018. From that point, land values increased for six consecutive years and hit new highs in 2024. Overall values had a slight decrease in 2025 of 4.41%. From July of 2025 to July of 2026, seven of the 22 farms decreased in value, seven increased, and eight reflected no change. In total, the benchmark farms reflected no overall change. When considering the individual benchmarks values, the year-over-year percentage changes ranged from –8.22% to 12.5%. The variation reinforces that agricultural real estate is a location-specific asset. “While farmland transaction volume decreased this past year, demand and prices paid for Illinois farmland remains stable,” says Kent Reid, Farm Credit Illinois chief appraiser. “Although commodity prices have improved modestly, profit margins remain constrained, which may place downward pressure on land values in the coming year.” Read an in-depth analysis in the full report at
