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.

Proposed FARM Act means less regulation for Illinois farmers

TOSETTI: Get our acts together, start managing the present

Are you concerned? I am. This has nothing to do with politics, as I am a true independent and have been for a long time, knowing that there are good people on both sides. Lately there seems to be a lot of discussion on the State of Illinois and more particularly, rural America, the small towns in it, the counties and the townships, and the struggles most of them are facing.

Skillicorn joins call to legalize hemp production

SPRINGFIELD (Heartland Newsfeed) -- State Rep. Allen Skillicorn (R-East Dundee) has joined the growing ranks of those publicly advocating for the legalization of industrial hemp in Illinois. “What is the drawback to industrial hemp production,” Skillicorn said. “This was a very popular cash crop during World War II for industrial purposes. Since neighboring state Kentucky legalized industrial hemp, farmers in that state have yet another successful product to produce.” The issue of legalization has long been debated in Illinois, with […]
