@ChrisChavez Saw this just before my own 5k tonight. I think it inspired me to run faster. #legsarefeelinggood #ilovetrackandfield

I always enjoy a lead that catches a reader’s attention and appreciate information that is clearly explained. This story does both.

Watch for zombies this summer!

Herbicide-resistant Palmer amaranth and waterhemp weed escapes are laying low after dicamba and 2,4-D herbicide applications right now. But they will start rising again soon.

This #pollinator has been busy in my garden and today I took a few moments to watch it work. I love seeing what plants attract different animals during the growing season.

Nothing says 4th of July weekend quite like driving in the country and pulling over next to a corn field to watch fireworks.

So many of my favorite things came together in this @WomensRunning piece- strong writing, cheese, track and field, and a behind the scenes look at the @usatf Olympic trials- https://t.co/PT6vrjkXTP

It was a beautiful day to take the backroads past soybean fields, corn fields and even a few dairy and beef farms.

My coneflower started blooming today, just in time for #PollinatorWeek. I love this little garden and seeing the butterflies, bees and other insects that it attracts each year.

[Amy Roady @amyroady]

The intersection of trails and fields where the combination of Illinois soils, rain, water and sunshine help everything grow.

[Amy Roady @amyroady]

Today I’m thankful for volunteers and staff who keep up our natural areas so that we can enjoy our favorite trails.

It sounds so simple. Just plant the seeds in the soil and give them sunshine and rain. Yet, there are so many decisions that went into getting these soybeans in the ground and that will need to be made to get this year’s crop to market.

"In truth, 'Edie' Gaffner never wanted to be a farmer’s wife. But some of the best stories include ironic plot-twists, roundabout self-discovery, and a quiet but confident hero." Meet the unsinkable Edie Gaffner in this issue of #ILFieldAndBean https://t.co/MpBccIsPcr

@NAZ_Elite I hope @Steph_Rothstein recovers smoothly. Still loved seeing her support others at the finish line area.
