#drought is intensifying in Illinois: go.illinois.edu/IllinoisDrought Highlights: -> 34% of IL in moderate to severe drought -> ⬆️Risk of field and grass fires as harvest picks up -> Low river levels in central & southern IL -> Hot + dry weather this week will worsen drought

Follower submitted question: Cow/calf confinement barn... Good idea? Bad idea? Iowa cattleman has 375 cows & 150 first calf heifers. Lost pasture & are running on 55 acres of rye this year. → Access to grass will be an issue going forward, so is a hoop barn, mono-slope, slat barn, etc a good investment? Curious on the pros/cons of confinements for a cow/calf producer. Thanks in advance for the insight!

Illinois landowners & producers, we seek your help in identifying contact and permissions to re-sample locations at which soils were originally sampled across the state as far back as the late 1800s. Map here: google.com/maps/d/u/1/vie…

How much is too much when feeding ergot-infected feeds? This study watched steers in a feedlot and how they gained related to how much ergot was in their diet. bit.ly/44OKDiI #ABBx

I can't remember a week in April when the entire state had exactly no measurable precipitation. Quite a rarity in Illinois. #ilwx

@realDonaldTrump over 100 years ago, Teddy Roosevelt broke up the "beef trust" of 6 packers with 50% control. Now 4 packers have 80%...we need your help! #FairCattleMarkets
