Illinois Farm Trends Show Bigger Units and More Specialization
Illinois Crop Reporting Service notes larger and more specialized operating units on farms. Acreage per farm has risen a third since two decades ago, with increasing use of picker shellers and combines. Exports of grain and soybeans comprise a large share of cash receipts, and a new Stephen A. Forbes State Park opened in 1964. Mineral production remains above $600 million yearly, and a $21000 NSF grant supports nocturnal bird migration research led by Dr. Harlow B. Millis.
