Windbreaks for Illinois farms improve winter comfort
Winter wind discomfort on farms can be reduced by evergreen windbreaks. Norway spruce and Douglas fir provide reliable foliage through winter, grow well in Illinois, and are available from nurseries. Plant not closer than 50 feet to buildings, and avoid more than 800 feet from the nearest structures on north and west sides using three staggered rows 14 feet apart.

Sudan grass and soybeans boost dairy forage yields
A university study notes new high yielding sweet sudan varieties with better fungas resistance and palatability for dairy cows. Seeding at 20 30 pounds per acre alone or 25 pounds sudan plus 1.5 bushels soybeans per acre increases forage. Wait to 16 18 inches height before harvest to avoid acid poisoning. Surplus forage can become silage when soybeans are included.
