Rob and Steph Elliot on their farm in Monmouth, IL
Scattered rain across Illinois over the last two weeks has pressed the pause button on harvest, but two farmers are using the “break” to complete other tasks.
Northeastern Illinois farmer Rob Elliot of Monmouth tells Brownfield he’s re-thinking his fungicide plan for 2022 after corn in their area was hit hard this year by diseases like crown rot, southern rust and tar spot, which hurt stability and yields.
