For more on the sirup making process and where to find Funk’s Grove Pure Maple Sirup, check out their website or take a look at this article from the Illinois Farm Bureau® Partners magazine.

Farm Fresh Podcast: Spring Road Postings

Leave a comment

A heavy load on a country road when the ground is soft and mushy is a recipe for road damage. Protecting the pavement on rural routes  means posting lower weight limits when the road is most vulnerable – during the freezing and thawing of early spring.

Learn more about spring weight postings and what they mean for local farmers from Arin Rader, who is a farmer and the Dry Grove Township Road Commissioner in this week’s Farm Fresh Podcast.
