Supervisors assess land planted to corn, with producers allowed a 10 to 30 percent reduction in base acreage for a payment based on 35 cents per bushel times the farm yield applied to reduced acres, and land may be shifted to any crop except corn. Efforts target quick countywide checks to allow producers to seed alternative crops to replace possible overplanting.

Handle Fireworks With Care This Independence Day Warning
State health officials warn fireworks and related injuries spike tetanus cases in Illinois. Since 1919 one third of 1,242 tetanus deaths involved boys ages five to fifteen, peaking around the Fourth of July. Dr Baxter cites June and July as high risk, noting powder burns and blank cartridges drive tetanus, while clean wounds are safer. Proper wound care and tetanus antitoxin can prevent the disease.
