Our Programs
Body
Our programs use University of Illinois and USDA research coupled with knowledge and first-hand experience of Southern Illinois soils, climate, and unique challenges to help farmers and landowners in our region make the best management decisions. Each year, we host annual programs like the Dixon Spring Agricultural Center Beef Field Day, Maple Syrup Production, and high tunnel/forestry workshops. If you have any questions about upcoming programs or questions about your farm, please reach out to our Extension staff.
