Donate a Farm in Illinois
Farmland, cropland, orchards and inherited family farms across Illinois, reviewed confidentially and decided in writing.
Agriculture in Illinois
Illinois holds some of the flattest, darkest row-crop ground in the Corn Belt, farmed almost entirely in corn and soybeans. The central counties are remarkably uniform. To the west and south, ground becomes more rolling, with timber in the draws and claypan soils that respond strongly to drainage work.
Most Illinois farmland is professionally farmed under cash rent or crop share, and productivity indexes are widely used. A review confirms the lease, the drainage district status, the tile condition, any wind or solar agreements recorded against the land, and what buildings remain on the farmstead.
