Illinois SNAP error rate continues to grow as federal penalties loom

Data released Wednesday by the U.S. Department of Agriculture shows Illinois’ payment error rate for food assistance continues to grow with federal penalties set to take effect in about a year.

The data shows Illinois made errors on 14.7% of Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program payments in federal fiscal year 2025. That includes 13.3% of all payments being higher than they should have been.

The error rate is higher than the 11.6% rate of the previous fiscal year. The continuing growth comes as the federal government is set to impose new penalties beginning in October 2027 on states with high error rates on SNAP payments. For Illinois, the penalty could cost about $700 million.

The federal government defines an erroneous payment as one that is $57 higher or lower than it should have been. Only Alaska, Delaware, Georgia, New Mexico, and the District of Columbia had higher error rates than Illinois in FY25.

“Illinois’ SNAP error rate has skyrocketed because of years of mismanagement, and our most vulnerable will be paying the price,” House Republican Leader Tony McCombie, R-Savanna, said in a statement. “This isn’t about taking benefits away from families who legitimately need assistance. It’s about making sure the program is administered properly, and taxpayer dollars are protected. Fraud, waste, and abuse have no place in government.”

Gov. JB Pritzker told reporters at an

unrelated event in Chicago on Thursday that the FY25 error rate largely accounts for months in the fiscal year before the president signed the law in July 2025 and doesn’t reflect steps the state has taken to rectify the problem.

“The reality is that when you have an error rate — just want to be clear with everybody — this is not some sort of waste, fraud, and abuse issue,” Pritzker said.

Pritzker claimed the state has lowered the error rate below the FY24 level but was not able to provide a specific number.

Federal changes

Illinois and most other states will have to cover a greater portion of costs for SNAP under the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, also known as H.R. 1, based on the state’s error rate.

Beginning in federal fiscal year 2028 that begins in October 2027, many states will begin covering a portion of SNAP benefits. States with an error rate greater than 10% will have to cover 15% of the cost of benefits starting in fiscal year 2029. The delayed implementation gives the state another year to lower its error rate and potentially pay for a smaller portion of the benefits.

States with lower error rates would cover a smaller portion of the benefits and those with an error rate under 6% will not have to cover any benefits. The national error rate is 10.6% and has declined for two straight years.

“They’re setting a new bar at 6% and saying, ‘if you can’t get to 6%, we’re going to take SNAP away or charge you a whole bunch of money,’” Pritzker told reporters

last August. “How do they want us to get to 6%? By cutting people off of SNAP.”

Illinois is one of 20 states with an error rate of at least 10%, and the state is expected to pay about $700 million to cover the cost of benefits because of the penalty.

The state FY27 budget signed earlier this month calls for spending $55 million to hire 450 new employees at the Department of Human Services, including to help update the state’s systems to comply with federal changes to SNAP and Medicaid eligibility.

“HR1 is a deliberate effort by the federal government, for the first time, to push the federal food program’s benefits costs on the states, stop customers from receiving SNAP food benefits, and let families go hungry,” DHS spokesperson Rachel Otwell said in an email. “Illinois has launched an aggressive, multi-year effort to improve payment accuracy and protect taxpayers from future fiscal exposure.”

Otwell added that “minor errors” by beneficiaries account for the majority of faulty payments.

DHS plans to implement new technology, increase reviews of people’s eligibility, train more staff to recognize common errors, and improve communication with SNAP recipients about what information they need to report to the state and when.

Also beginning in federal fiscal year 2027, which begins in October 2026, states will have to cover 75% of administrative costs for SNAP, rather than 50%. Illinois lawmakers appropriated $100 million for administrative expenses in state FY27, which begins July 1. That’s up from $60 million in FY26.

The state provided benefits to about 1.5 million people in May, according to the Illinois Department of Human Services. That was about 88,500 fewer people than in April. About 150,000 Illinoisians were expected to lose food assistance benefits beginning May 1 after new work requirements prescribed in H.R. 1 went into effect.

The new state budget established the Families Receiving Emergency Support for Hunger, or FRESH Program, for people who have lost or seen their SNAP benefits reduced. They would be eligible for a one-time $400 payment. The program is scheduled to last just one year and is estimated to cost about $70 million.

IL radio stations reckon with CBS News Radio’s shutdown

By Chloe Park

Capitol News Illinois

Medill Illinois News Bureau news@capitolnewsillinois.com

CHICAGO – When Gary Scott, general manager of WLDS-WEAI, opened the letter informing him that CBS News Radio would shut down after decades providing programming for his Jacksonville radio station, he was stunned.

“My jaw literally hit the desk when I read it,” Scott said. “It was clearly stated, but I had to read it two or three times before it finally sank in.”

Scott said he received the letter in the mail two or three months before officials pulled the plug. He shared the news with his station’s co-owner, who was equally shocked and confused about where the decision had come from. WLDS-WEAI has long been a major, trusted source of news, farm and sports coverage for Morgan, Scott, Greene and Cass counties in west central Illinois.

“We were very much blindsided by it, and I had this sickening feeling that we have lost something in this country,” Scott said.

CBS News Radio went silent May 22, citing economic hardships, another in a string of bumpy and very public business decisions for the broadcast network. The shutdown ended nearly a century of national and global radio news that brought historic events into Americans’ living rooms, from Edward R. Murrow’s London Blitz broadcasts to coverage of Pearl Harbor and the Cuban Missile Crisis.

As longtime CBS affiliate stations across the state move to other news services, broadcasters and industry professionals are weighing how the loss will impact local coverage and what it signals about the future of radio news.

Stations adopt new partners

In Chicago, WBBM Newsradio was among the Audacy stations left searching for a replacement after CBS News Radio announced it would end its services. As late as April, it was unclear what would fill the gap, until the station switched to ABC News Radio one day before CBS News Radio went silent, according to the Chicago Tribune.

For some downstate Illinois stations, however, the switch came seamlessly.

Tammy Sondgeroth, general manager of NRG Media Ottawa, which operates WCMY, said the station moved to NBC News Radio almost immediately after learning of the closure.

“It was a very fast decision,” Sondgeroth said. “We wanted to get everybody acclimated before everybody had to switch, because why wait?”

She added that the adjustment was

relatively easy because NRG Media Ottawa was already paying for NBC News as part of another program the company uses.

Scott Miller, morning show host at WJBC in the Bloomington-Normal region, said the station experienced a similarly smooth shift, though it moved to ABC News Radio instead.

Miller said ABC News Radio was able to replace much of the programming lost with the end of CBS News Radio, including top-of-the-hour news, weekend programming and short segments on entertainment and financial news. He added that WJBC listeners are unlikely to notice much of a difference.

“There’s just sadness to see a legacy brand sunset like this, but we looked at our options that were available to get a national news service, and ABC seemed to be the obvious choice for us,” Miller said.

‘Difficult to sell to our listeners’

But for Scott, the next step for WLDSWEAI was not as clear.

“CBS has always been at the top of the list,” he said. “It was a network that I always wanted to be a part of because I think it’s so well respected and I just thought it was the top of the game. Everything else was a distant second, so it hasn’t been easy for us to adjust.”

While Scott ultimately settled on NBC News Radio, he said the transition required him to revamp key aspects of his station’s coverage. NBC did not offer direct replacements for several CBS News Radio programs WLDS-WEAI had relied on, including some newscasts and weekend programming like “Face the Nation” and “Eye on Travel.”

He said those changes are already apparent to WLDS-WEAI listeners, with the station receiving a few complaints about adjustments to programming that listeners had grown accustomed to over the decades.

“It was difficult to sell (the change) to our listeners, but I think they understand that it was not our decision to drop CBS, it was CBS’s decision to drop us,” Scott said.

For Scott, the loss has prompted broader questions about how radio news is valued by today’s audiences. He warned that the continued decline of traditional news could contribute to the spread of bias and misinformation through other media sources, from digital and cable outlets to social media platforms.

“It’s a step away from what really should be news: newspapers, TV and radio, whether it’s local or national,” he said, “We’re getting much less of that these days, and it can’t do anything but hurt us in the long run. I fear for this country because of this loss.”

For Scott’s station and other local radio stations in rural or less populous areas, the local radio station is often a community institution and may be one of the last remaining sources of local news as the industry continues to contract nationally. Its value proposition is rooted in common interests, shared connections with its audiences and a history that spans generations of listeners.

“WLDS has been on the air since a few days after the attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941. It became an affiliate of the Chicago Cubs in 2018 and Chicago Bears in 2019,” a message on its website states. “WEAI became an affiliate of the St. Louis Cardinals in the 1960s.”

Familiar pressure for the industry Illinois Broadcasters Association Chair and Morgan County Media General Manager Sarah Shellhammer said the shutdown of CBS News Radio reflects broader pressures facing the broadcast industry, as news organizations compete with newer ways of reaching consumers. She said listeners are tuning in to different sources for news, a shift that broadcasters have had to take into consideration.

“Radio has had to adjust to streaming and the internet and a lot of the other options people have to gain news and information,” Shellhammer said. “People are consuming news and media differently than they did 100 years ago, or 50 years ago or even 20 years ago.”

Shellhammer added that the end of CBS News Radio did not have as great an impact as it would have 50 years ago, as other news sources have emerged over the decades and fewer stations have relied on its content.

But not everyone sees those shifts as a sign that traditional radio is nearing its end.

Miller said radio has faced predictions of decline before, from concerns that car radios would distract drivers to worries that satellite radio would mean the death of traditional radio. Each time, he said, the industry found ways to adapt.

“Satellite radio is still here, and traditional radio is still here,” Miller said. “Has it changed? Has it evolved? Yes, but so has the microwave, and so has the lawnmower. If you’re not evolving, then what are you doing? The radio is evolving and keeping up with the other media that’s out there.”

‘A real farm crisis’: Illinois farm bankruptcies rise for 3rd straight year

By Tara Sun Medill Illinois News Bureau news@capitolnewsillinois.com

SPRINGFIELD — With the growing season well underway in Illinois, farmers once again are struggling to turn an abundant harvest into survival.

In 2025, family farm bankruptcies surged 46% nationwide — reaching 315 filings and marking the third consecutive year of increases. The Midwest recorded 121 filings in 2025 — up 70% from the prior year.

The trend has only accelerated. In April alone this year, 62 Chapter 12 farm bankruptcies were filed nationwide – a 130% jump from the prior year and the highest monthly total since February 2020. The USDA projects total farm debt will rise 5.2% to a record $624.7 billion in 2026, with 330 bankruptcy cases filed.

“I’m scared about there being a real farm crisis,” said Eliot Clay, executive director of the Association of Illinois Soil and Water Conservation Districts. “This could come down to people being able to save their farms – just knowing that they could put it into some conservation easement or something. Like, they need anything that they can get.”

For Illinois, the crisis is playing out as lawmakers just finished a budget session that delivered few meaningful results for an industry under siege. Gary Asay, who has farmed in Illinois since 1976 and sold crop insurance for more than 20 years, sees clear reasons to worry.

“The increase in the number of bankruptcies and the increased buying of higher-level crop insurance are both signs of the stress that’s in the industry,” Asay said. “Farmers are under stress. They may be having to borrow more money. Therefore, they want more protection.”

Crop insurance, he pointed out, can’t fully protect farmers from losses. The most common policy, Revenue Protection, covers only up to 85% of projected revenue.

“Even with the best crop insurance coverage you can buy, if that coverage is below your cost of production, you can still lose money without even collecting,” Asay said.

In 2025, U.S. soybean production totaled 4.26 billion bushels, with the average yield per acre estimated at a record high 53.0 bushels per acre. Illinois alone harvested more than 639 million bushels in 2025.

Then, in February 2025, the U.S. imposed a 10% tariff on Chinese products. And China – once the world’s largest buyer of U.S. soybeans – stopped purchasing U.S. crops. Last September marked the first

month since 2018 that imports from the U.S. fell to zero, according to China’s General Administration of Customs.

Farmers had entered the 2025 season with a smaller safety net after the projected price for the crop insurance guarantees fell by 8.7% that year. The drop meant less protection heading into the spring planting. But because yields were high, most farms still generated revenue above their guaranteed floor. Although farmers grew plenty, they sold every bushel for less than it cost to produce.

“A lot of farmers cannot sell their corn or soybeans at a profit right now, just because the price is so low,” Asay said.

Bankruptcies in agriculture rarely follow a single bad year. For U.S. farmers, the financial squeeze began well before 2025.

Real estate debt – tied to the land farmers rent or own – is expected to reach $404.3 billion in 2026, a reflection of the high cost of farmland that has squeezed so many operators.

“Overhead costs represent the largest cost component on the U.S. farm, accounting for nearly one-half of total costs during the 2020-24 period,” said Joana Colussi, a research assistant professor of agricultural economics at Purdue University, citing Purdue data. “Eighty percent of the farmers in the Midwest, they rent the land.”

Colussi has tracked the financial squeeze on farmers across the Midwest. When land prices rise, so does the rent – a fixed cost that farmers pay regardless of crop prices or yields. That leaves farmers searching for ways to keep operations going. “The way to continue being competitive is to try to reduce the costs,” she said.

Diversification into niche markets — non-GMO (genetically modified organism), organic or specialty crops — offers one path forward, though Colussi mentioned it’s not a quick fix

Farm crisis reminiscent of the 1980s

Rep. Charlie Meier, R-Okawville, who is a farmer himself, described the current moment as reminiscent of the 1980s farm crisis. “There were massive bankruptcies in the ‘80s,” Meier said. “A lot, a lot of farms went under.”

The trigger now and then is the unstable export market. But the financial strain was already visible. In 2025, the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago reported that 5.6% of farm loans were classified as having “major” or “severe” repayment problems — the highest since 2020. That means borrowers were falling behind on payments or reworking their loans. It’s an indicator that many farmers were struggling to repay

old debt while borrowing more to plant the next crop.

Ahead of the 2026 legislative session, farm groups pushed for estate tax relief, one of the Illinois Farm Bureau’s top priorities, along with payouts for farmers to protect their land and programs that help them find new buyers for their crops. But in a tight budget year, those priorities stalled.

The Illinois Farm Bureau did not secure passage of the Family Farm Preservation Act, which would have raised the state’s estate tax exemption from $4 million to $6 million, reducing the tax burden on inherited farms and making it easier for young farmers to keep the land and operations intact.

State Rep. Sharon Chung, DBloomington, who serves on the House Agriculture Committee, was also unable to get a relatively small boost for farmers through this session.

She pushed for a $10 million increase in funding for Soil and Water Conservation Districts through House Bill 4755. But the final Fiscal Year 2027 budget held funding at $4.5 million for the third straight year, far short of what advocates say districts need. These districts are trusted by local farmers because they work alongside them, offering advice on how to farm more efficiently at a lower cost.

Clay, the district’s executive director, said the biggest need is giving districts “the financial certainty that they can hire and keep people hired.”

Without that, districts see constant

turnover. That means farmers lose access to experienced local advisors who understand their land and can help them navigate conservation practices that might save money and keep them afloat.

“Agriculture is the No. 1 producer for our economy in Illinois,” Chung said. “Anything we can do to help prop that up is so important.”

Despite those unpassed bills, farmers did secure a few victories. The final budget included changes to the Farmland Assessment Law — extending a tax break for conservation practices through 2031 — and avoided cuts to key programs, including the Illinois Department of Agriculture, agricultural education and cover-crop incentives that enrich the soil.

While farmers had hoped Springfield could do more, they also recognized that forces shaping the industry go far beyond the influence of legislators: falling crop prices, an unstable export market and rising costs.

As farmers face mounting distress, the history of the 1980s hangs over the heartland.

“There’s just not enough room for error right now. Something that happened in the past can take down a farmer today,” Asay said.

Climate change model improvements needed

By Dr. Robert Vogl, Ph.D. Illinois Renewable Energy Association Contributor

The world’s most frequently cited climate scientist, Professor Phillippe Ciais was recently interviewed by Leo Heckman and reported on Carbon Brief. Many climate scientist agree that climate change is real and requires more corrective global actions, Professor Ciais has called for improvements in the climate models. While climate scientists already know enough to justify corrective actions improving the models can improve our understanding of why carbon is having such a huge impact on climate.

Ciais’s research is focused on the carbon cycle because human activities emit a substantial amount of carbon dioxide to the atmosphere which is the main force driving global warming. We know that half of the carbon is absorbed by natural reservoirs of forests and oceans. His work has focused on determining which region the forest or the ocean, is absorbing carbon or sometimes releasing it and why. Are plants more actively

growing and capturing carbon or are the oceans absorbing more C02.

We currently have one carbon dioxide monitoring station in Mauna Loa where the annual CO2 levels are reported. We know from that data that C02 levels are continuing to increase. But we also know that variations in C02 releases in two nearby forest areas can differ in the same season so we could improve our understanding of climate change if we have C02 monitoring stations in the north and in the south.

With the two additional C02 monitoring stations we could improve our understanding of the impact of atmospheric mixing and regional differences in the absorption or releases of carbon dioxide from the natural reservoirs.

We know that human activities are releasing C02 and once it is in the air it takes centuries before it is removed by natural processes. But we are experiencing more abrupt changes in the climate. During the hot summer in 2023 Canada lost 11% boreal forest to fire that released C02 to the atmosphere.

We are also experiencing droughts, which kill trees within a year or two, which lessens the amount of C02 the former living forest absorbed. And heat waves in tundra areas like Siberia release C02 formerly trapped in the frozen tundra.

The additional releases of C02 from fires and tundra sources are currently not included in the climate models. The models are designed to determine increases in C02 but are not developed enough to account for the losses in carbon absorption processes. By not accounting for the losses the existing climate models we may be underestimating the climate change problem.

It is estimated that up to one gigaton of carbon dioxide is missing in the current climate models and Professor Ciais thinks we should try to determine which of the regions account for the missing carbon in the models. Is it in the land or in the ocean carbon absorption rates or in the tropics or in the high permafrost.

The lack of accurate carbon absorption rates shows up when the models fail to

show a response to extreme events like the Canadian boreal fires or a big El Nino. If the models do not simulate a response to extreme events it raises doubts about how the existing models can inform us of events in the future.

Another question addressed is whether the carbon models include overly optimistic expectations in our ability to remove carbon from the atmosphere. Carbon capture and storage technologies has not scaled up enough to reduce rising global carbon levels.

Given the Trump Administration’s attacks on climate science involves the cutting of government grants for research grants necessitates seeking private funds to continue research on climate change and effective actions to curtail its devastating impacts on the planet and its inhabitants. This article represents what I selected as the key point raised in the interview of Professor Ciais and suggest that one read the full interview for themselves at www.carbonbrief.org.

Council of Rockford Gardeners hosts its annual Free Garden Walk

From Arch Smith

Council of Rockford Gardeners

Each year on the first Wednesday after the Fourth of July—held this year on July 8th from 1 p.m. to 8 p.m.—the Council of Rockford Gardeners (CRG) hosts its annual Free Garden Walk, a 46-year tradition. Over the years, we have featured approximately 350 gardens and welcomed almost 30,000 collective attendees. CRG’s Garden Walk was recently awarded Best Garden Walk in Illinois for two consecutive years, making this one of the premier garden walks in the state.

This year’s CRG Garden Walk starts our journey at the Marsh/Helstrom Garden. Having been showcased once before, this garden features many stately trees, as well as numerous shrubs and perennials—including roses, viburnums, barberries, hostas, fifty or so hydrangeas, and another fifty or so boxwoods. There is also a large collection of various birdhouses, sculptures, wall hangings, and other unique garden art and decorations to this urban oasis.

Next on this year’s tour is Rosie’s Garden. The owners’ previous residence was a third-floor condo with a rooftop deck and a single flower box as their only

gardening experience. Today, this current property boasts a rather large yard filled with plants of all textures, sizes, and colors. Their garden truly showcases a passion for trees and rocks, with many adorning the property. The landscape features a collection of planting areas that wrap around the yard, complete with an array of interesting garden art.

Just down the road is the Lengjak Garden. This space is a shaded woodland retreat designed to invite exploration, reflection, and discovery. The Asianinfluenced garden features unique garden sculptures, seven fountains, and three handcrafted wooden Asian-style footbridges, all nestled in an enchanted forest in the middle of town. There are many perennials, hydrangeas, and other vibrant plants to see as you stroll along the wooden walkways around the moss-covered lawn.

A short distance away is the Salazar Garden. This family garden incorporates native flowers, grasses, and shrubs, all designed to create a thriving habitat that welcomes an abundance of butterflies, busy bees, and graceful hummingbirds. Lots of colorful flowers and interesting garden art make this a whimsical sanc-

tuary offering magical surprises at every glance.

About eight minutes away, we come to the Ollmann Garden, which sits on six and a half acres of wooded rural property where mature white oaks and hickory trees create a naturally peaceful and shaded setting. Just off to the left side of the house is a large bronze sculpture of children and a dog playing on a log. While much of the landscape is intentionally natural, several manicured garden beds near the house provide beautiful contrast and structure. This garden features a variety of hostas, ornamental grasses, dwarf conifers, and small trees, including redbuds, Japanese maples, and dogwoods. Buckle up for a 10-minute drive to our last two gardens. The Flanary Garden began as a blank slate—a former corn and soybean field with just three trees and no grass—and has evolved into a deeply personal garden retreat on nearly two acres. Over the years, the owners have planted hundreds of trees, transforming what was once full sun into a rich tapestry of sun and shade. Many of the garden’s decorative touches, such as fountains, arbors, gazebos, statuary, and plants carry deeply meaningful stories. Wander

around the stone walkways and enjoy the many peaceful areas to sit and relax. We end our journey at the five-acre site of the Johnson Garden. This is home to the owners of Johnson Design Landscaping. The gardens contain a diverse collection of plants, including hostas, ornamental grasses, hybrid coneflowers, peonies, hydrangeas, Japanese maples, sedums, lavender, Asiatic lilies, thirty varieties of conifers (including dwarf and weeping), and more than fifty varieties of deciduous trees. Boulder retaining walls support planting beds filled with perennials and groundcovers, while walking paths, garden borders, benches, and sitting stones connect the various spaces to create inviting places to relax.

The Council of Rockford Gardeners’ journey doesn’t end here! We are always looking for garden owners willing to share their own landscapes on a future CRG Garden Walk. You might also be interested in joining one of our four garden clubs. CRG offers two “a.m.” clubs and two “p.m.” clubs packed full of fun activities for garden enthusiasts of any level.
