Farm Notes and Views by Albert Pilch
In Grundy County, thanks are given to 4-H volunteers for the successful county show. Corn stands vary due to wet spring conditions, with pollination timing crucial for a potential crop. drought stress remains concentrated from Champaign to St Louis. Bulls in Illinois beef herds show higher returns from better sires, with per calf gains translating to significant value differences. Shoppers are urged to buy wheat seed early, favor hard red winter varieties like Gage or Ottawa, and avoid Gaines wheat due to lower test weight and yield per acre.
