Illinois to Consider Small Farm Experiment Stations
Cragle urged establishing several small experimental stations across Southern Illinois to reflect farm and forest land diversity. He said actions would follow long discussions with the citizens advisory committee. Dixon Springs remains the only southern U of I experimental station, with Brownstown near Vandalia as the next closest.

Illinois study outlines smaller stations and farm centers plan
Cragle outlined a plan to create smaller stations in the Mississippi Ohio delta and in Union Pulaski County with an agronomic center in Williamson Saline Franklin counties. A beef cattle center could arise in Marion Jefferson counties, while Dixon Springs would stay an agronomic center but reduced in scale and staff. The forestry program at Dixon Springs likely expands despite limited land.

The 1981 Du Quoin State Fair livestock show closed with record entries boosted by higher premiums. Grand champions included a Duroc gilt owned by Darrell Brown of Bingham Route 1 and a Spots boar shown by Roger Roehrig of Rand F. Stock Farms Mascoutah. Southern Illinois University Carbondale Swine Center swept barrows in overall and crossbred classes, while Hampshire champions came from Larry Welker and family. Dairy winners featured Jer sey cows from Raymond and Betty Helms Belleville and herdsmanship by Hake of Hoyleton. Heavy horse and mule judging crowned top pairs and hitches, with Robinson Brothers Brownstown Ind and Kelso Farms Murray Ky earning multiple honors.

Agriculture official Thomas H Porter said the practice is no longer representative and concerns persist that industry reliance on cash quotations remains excessive.
