Farming is not a one-season job. Growing food for the community is a year-round investment. Managing the soil to grow healthy, nutritious food with fewer inputs requires knowledge and experience. Illinois Extension recognizes that your livelihood is in the soil. Illinois Extension provides research-based education to support your sustainable practices in the field. Working together, we can create healthy soil that grows healthy plants so you have one less worry during the 4 AM harvest for Saturday morning market.
