Join the IDEA Farm Network and UIUC for this organic field day! This event will focus on corn roots, soil organic matter management, soil structure, and farmer on-farm experiences.
The Crop Science Research and Education Center, referred to as the South Farms, features about 1,600 acres of research fields south of campus. It includes several research farms with most of the acreage dedicated to row crop (corn, soybeans, and small grain) production.
