FarmAid Too Late For This Former OCONEE Farmer
OCONEE Illinois suffered a devastating farm sale as George DeClerck, 56, watched 380 acres and longtime possessions auctioned off just days before FarmAid in Champaign. He called the loss “brokenhearted” and said rising costs, high interest, drought and falling crop prices left his life on the line. FarmAid’s pledge may not ease his and others’ hardships.
