Meet with agriculture specialists from University of Illinois Extension and learn about the latest research impacting farms today while attending the Greater Peoria Farm Show, Dec. 2-4.
Show attendees can visit the Illinois Extension booth during show hours on Tuesday and Wednesday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Thursday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. to discuss questions and find resources on farm leasing, grain marketing, farm estate planning, fertilizer management, fertility programs, nutrient loss, cover crops, and reduced tillage. The booth will also feature information about the Master Gardener and Master Naturalist programs and Conservation@Home.
“Extension offers farmers and producers a unique opportunity in that we offer non-biased, research-based information as we are not selling anything,” says Tara Heath, Illinois Extension commercial agriculture educator.
