Corn

Many old school Illinois farmers look to nature and not computer models to tell them what the upcoming winter will be like.

I've heard many theories about what is responsible for the record-breaking heat many parts of Illinois has experienced this summer, but this one takes the cake. Why have you felt so miserable over the past few weeks? Experts claim it's because Illinois corn is sweating and I'm not even making that up.

If you need proof that agriculture is still the king of Illinois, consider this exhibit A. If you think the most expensive land in Illinois is a mansion, guess again. It's a more than 248 acre farm in Hebron.

A precious little boy professing his love for corn is currently winning the hearts of the collective internet.

It makes me feel so much better to uplift others, speak highly of my friends, and find things that make me love living in the wonderful state of Illinois.

There's nothing better than hitting a corn maze with your friends during the fall season.

Move over vanilla and chocolate, there are new flavors in town.
