Soil Consulting and Crop Consulting in Illinois. You may call it soil testing, soil sampling, or soil health management, but it is more than that. These are my daily or weekly travels in soil and crop consulting and my observations in the agricultural world.

Chicago Trip
We came south out of the city on I-57. No crops till past I 80. Soybeans further north were really dropping leaves. Corn looked mature for the most part. There was activity in the Field at Clifton and some from there on although maybe 10% of corn was harvested the rest of the trip. South of Champaign there was one field of soybeans being harvested. More corn harvested in Champaign County than anywhere I have been except West Alton. As we went south, soybeans got more green and corn seemed more dry. There were a lot of trucks lined up and unloading grain at Cargill in Tuscola. We saw some harvest activity until Pana. I think we must have gotten into the heavy rainfall area from there on.
