The University of Illinois Dudley Smith Initiative is in Christian County. This farm site is used for agriculture research. Ashley Belle with the University of Illinois says that this program has been very helpful towards learning research and moving towards the future.

Belle says that topics include cover crop, soil health, water quality, and much, much more at the Winter Farm Meetings. 

The meeting will take place on February 9th, online on Zoom from 10 AM until 3 PM. Belle has been so excited over some of the topics that have been discussed in the past. Surveys taken, have shown that these are great teaching lessons.

Belle says that there will be speakers talking about all kinds of different important topics.
