Dairy Month Proclaimed by Illinois Governor
Gov Dwight H Green proclaims June as Dairy Month in Illinois citing milk and dairy products importance. Illinois dairy farm numbers reach 1 120 000 cows valued at 180 820 000 with average cow value 161. Planting delays push corn sowing two to ten days late across counties from Pontiac to Watseka. Crop experts note cool wet weather slows corn borer activity and reduce damage this year. Illinois Commerce Commission plans to revise electric and gas utility service rules with a hearing set for Thursday June 19 in Springfield.
