| Just received the following announcements in an email:
• IDOA will offer a $400,000 cover crop incentive program for farmers who, due to the lateness of planting, have filed Prevented Planting claims which means those acres will lay fallow this year. Cover crops reduce nutrient runoff, conserve soil and prevent soil erosion, and are an alternative to chemical weed control. Local county soil and water conservation districts will assist to administer the program.
• IDOA’s website www.agr.state.il.us now has a “Flood Assistance” tab with links to available State and Federal flood assistance resources.
