Farmers seek feed use of diverted acres in Illinois counties
Gov. Otto Kerner said severe dry weather has harmed farmers across 11 counties and 41 more statewide. Corn and soy crops suffer, pastures burn, and forage stocks run short. Some buy hay at high prices, others use next winter’s reserves or liquidate herds. Farmers would pay a fair value charge for returning forage use of land retired under conservation programs. The target counties include Alexander, Franklin, Hardin, Jackson, Johnson, Massac, Pope, Randolph, Saline, Union and Williamson. Potential federal reaction pending.
