Rantoul Gardener Dutch Van Rheen Tends Rich Family Plot
In Rantoul, Dutch Van Rheen tends a west side garden, growing strawberries, corn, potatoes, lettuce, onions, peppers, tomatoes and cucumbers for family use. He follows old practices from his father, cuts back plants after bearing, lays straw for protection, and plows in fall to plant early. He emphasizes sharing with neighbors and treats gardening as a hobby rather than work.

Hot Weather Affects Swine Herd
Dr. Lowell Breeden of Kansas State University warns that temperatures 95 degrees and above for 24 hours can sterilize a boar for 4 to 8 weeks. Heat also risks embryonic death, reduced milk, and stillborn pigs, with effects varying by gestation stage. Producers should add shade, use misting, direct cooling away from piglets, and consider ventilation and plans from Midwest Plan Service to mitigate costs.
