Commentary

GUEBERT: Lawmakers must find a bipartisan way forward

For many years, I have heard that agriculture policy is one of the few areas in Springfield and in Washington, D.C., that is truly bipartisan. Members of both political parties recognize the need for good farm and food policy. It is my hope this continues, but I am increasingly disappointed by the lack of civility and level of disrespect occurring in today’s politics. I’m concerned that party leadership, on both sides of the aisle, is forcing lawmakers to vote exclusively […]

Ad blitz begins for Pritzker’s progressive income tax proposal

SPRINGFIELD (The Center Square) – Illinois voters will decide whether the state will move to a progressive income tax model from a flat tax this November, and the advertising blitz is underway.

Farmers destroy crops grown for restaurants, hotels

ORLANDO, Fla. (UPI) -- U.S. farmers have destroyed millions of pounds of perishable food like tomatoes, lettuce and green beans because growers lost a vast number of customers after the coronavirus pandemic struck. "It's a catastrophe, it really is," said Tony DiMare, a long-time tomato grower based in Palm Beach County, Fla. DiMare said he let 10 million pounds of tomatoes rot on the farm in a region south of Miami because no market existed for them. "It's been a […]

Bipartisan group of lawmakers, advocacy groups push for Illinois fair map amendment

SPRINGFIELD (The Center Square) -- A group of lawmakers from both sides of the aisle and several advocacy groups is turning up the pressure on the Illinois Legislature to pass an amendment to allow voters to change how legislative districts are drawn in Illinois. The goal is to prevent gerrymandering of the state's political boundaries. In Illinois, politicians control how legislative boundaries are drawn every ten years. This type of redistricting has been criticized as politicians picking their voters rather than […]

Illinois farmers focus on economics of sustainability

SPRINGFIELD (Illinois News Network) -- Sustainable farming practices in Illinois designed to improve water quality also face a financial test. Through emerging projects like Nutrient Loss Reduction Strategy, farmers are working to reduce nitrogen and phosphorus levels in their soil to prevent runoff into what will become the potable water supply. “It’s really been an effort in place since 2015 for our large municipalities and wastewater treatment plants to work alongside agriculture to be able to reduce our nutrient loads […]

Illinois representatives sound off on failure of federal farm bill

SPRINGFIELD (Illinois News Network) -- A new farm bill faces an uncertain future after conservative House Republicans wanting a vote on an unrelated immigration bill joined Democrats in defeating the legislation. Between Democrats opposing work requirements for food stamp recipients and conservative Republicans wanting a vote on a tougher immigration bill, they had enough votes to sink the farm bill. The 600-page legislation would renew the federal laws on farmer subsidy programs like reimbursement for crop insurance, but the biggest […]
