Marshall, Ill. — University of Illinois Extension’s Agronomy Night is Tuesday in the Clark County Extension Building, south of Marshall, Ill. Sponsored by the Clark County Extension Unit, the evening will begin with a meal catered by Custom Receptions at 6:30 p.m.

The program will begin about 7:15 p.m. Karen S. Maddox, district conservationist, will talk about Illinois’ NRCS Environmental Quality Incentives Program for 2007, which includes a new incentive option for landowners with forested and wooded acres.

Steve Turpin, Clark County supervisor of assessment, will show how the forest management plans will affect farmers’ taxes.

Jake Benjamin, commodities manager at Lincolnland Agri-Energy, will be the keynote speaker. Any market that uses a large amount of the nation’s corn supply is bound to have a positive effect on the price of corn.

Benjamin will talk about the effect of ethanol on local corn prices and give an update on the ethanol plant.

Benjamin is a 1998 graduate of Illinois State University with a double major in agribusiness and agronomy.

Over the past seven years, he had worked in soy processing, corn processing and wheat milling divisions of ADM before joining Lincolnland in July 2005.

Make a reservation by calling the Clark County Extension Office at (217) 826-5422. This program and other educational agricultural programs are sponsored through the donations of several agribusinesses in Clark County.
