Illinois harvest running behind schedule Record spring rainfall led to late planting, smaller harvest

By Peter Hancock CAPITOL NEWS ILLINOIS

As the month of December arrived, many Illinois farmers were still working to harvest their corn and soybeans—the state’s two largest field crops—and agriculture officials are anticipating one of the smallest harvests in recent years.

As of Nov. 24, only about 88 percent of corn acres in Illinois had been harvested, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, down from 100 percent at the same time last year.

Soybean harvesting was 95 percent complete, down from 99 percent a year ago.

That delay is the result of historic rainfall in the spring that drenched many parts of the state, preventing farmers from getting seeds into the ground in some cases until as late as June.

Officials at the Illinois Department of Agriculture say the final, official numbers for the 2019 growing season won’t be known until early January.

But Rodney Weinzierl, executive di-

•

rector of the Illinois Corn Growers Association, said all indicators point to a below-average year.

“Our acres of corn this year was the lowest we’ve had probably since the late 1980s,” Weinzierl said in a phone interview. “Just because of that corn that was prevented from being planted, just because of such wet conditions.”

Weinzierl said Illinois farmers planted about 1.1 million fewer acres of corn this year, compared to a normal year, and there was also a big drop-off in soybean acres.

erated $8.2 billion in farm income.

Soybean farmers harvested 10.5 million acres, producing nearly 667 million bushels. At $8.74 per bushel, that generated about $6.3 billion in income.

Most farmers who left acres unplanted this year had insurance coverage, but those policies only cover farmers for their input costs such as the seeds and fertilizers that went unused. They do not cover farmers for the loss of income or the cost of land for farmers who lease acreage from other landowners.

“So farmers that rent ground would still have an overall loss,” Weinzierl said. “But it’s like any other insurance, it’s meant to kind of allow you to be able to farm again next year.”

A spokeswoman for the Illinois Department of Agriculture said final numbers for the 2019 growing season are due to be released Jan. 10. A separate report will be released in February detailing the state’s first year of legal hemp production.

Be ready for winter storms The Earth’s elements can be scary. Winter brings heavy snow, rain, sleet and ice that can knock out power in an instant.

Be prepared by stocking up on emergency items that can easily be accessible.

Basic survival items: Candles, matches, flashlights and batteries • Canned food, can opener, snacks and water.

• You will need enough nonperishable food to last a few days.

• Canned and powdered food are good for long-term storage.

• Battery-powered radio and cell phone charger.

• Things to pass the time such as books, magazines, cards or board games.

• First aid kit, blankets, foot and hand warmers.

• Extra socks, hats, mittens, blankets, jackets and warm weather apparel.

• You may already have these items, but remember you will need enough blankets to keep everyone warm without any heat and in adverse conditions.

• Snow removal equipment including shovels plus rock salt and sand.

• Pet supplies such as food, litter box, blanket and water.

Winterize your home: • Insulate walls and attics.

• Weather-strip doors and windows.

• Install storm windows or cover windows with plastic.

• Insulate pipes and allow faucets to drip a little during cold weather to avoid freezing.

• Clear rain gutters and repair roof leaks in order to avoid clogging and flooding.

• Cut away tree branches that could fall on a house or buildings during a storm Anticipate a long power outage: • Eat perishable foods first, keeping canned goods for lengthy outages.

• Leave the refrigerator doors closed during short outages and use the cold weather to store some things outside.

• Have some entertainment available that does not involve electricity.

Pritzker signs bill promoting diverse workforce on capital projects ‘Illinois Works’ offers incentives for minority apprenticeships

CAPITOL NEWS ILLINOIS

Gov. J.B. Pritzker signed legislation Dec. 10 aimed at ensuring minority workers have access to jobs created through the state’s new $45 billion capital improvements plan, as well as access to training for careers in construction and building trades.

Senate Bill 177 establishes the Illinois Works Jobs Program, which makes $25 million available to community based organizations— including public colleges and universities—to recruit new apprentices to work on construction projects.

It also provides that apprentices will make up 10 percent of the labor force on all projects costing

$500,000 or more.

The money will come from the $45 billion in capital plan funding.

The program will be overseen by the Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity. It is also authorized to award “bid credits”— virtual dollars that can be used when bidding on future contracts— to encourage contractors to employ

Woodstock Police urge safe holiday driving The Woodstock Police Department announced that it will participate in a national enforcement campaign to crack down on impaired and unbuckled drivers now through Jan. 2.

“While parties are an enjoyable part of the holiday season, we urge our community members to keep the merriment off the road,” said Chief John Lieb “If your celebration will involve alcohol, please plan ahead for a sober ride home and remember to buckle up – it’s the best defense against an impaired driver.”

According to the National High-

way Traffic Safety Administration’s Fatality Analysis Reporting System, 839 people lost their lives in traffic crashes involving a drunk driver last December.

Throughout the 2018 Christmas and New Year’s holidays alone, there were 285 drunk-driving-related fatalities – more than any other time that year.

Keep these tips in mind to help ensure a safe and joyful holiday season: • Before you head to the party, designate a sober driver or plan to use public transportation or a ride shar-

“historically underrepresented populations in the construction industry,” including minorities, women and veterans.

“Rebuild Illinois is the largest, most robust capital plan in state history,” Pritzker said at a bill signing ceremony in Chicago. “We’re working with our partners to make sure every community in the state benefits from these good jobs, especially those who’ve been left out and left behind for far too long.”

Language of the program was inserted into a Senate-passed bill in the House during the fall veto session.

Rep. Will Davis, a Democrat from the south Chicago suburb of Homewood, was the leading sponsor of the amendment in the House.

“Several of those communities are in the 30th District and the south suburbs,” he said. “So I’m pleased to have the opportunity to do something in Springfield that is

going to directly benefit the people that I serve and that I represent out in the south suburbs.”

Sen. Napoleon Harris III, a Democrat from the south suburb of Harvey and the lead sponsor in the Senate, said he believes the program will pay dividends for years to families that traditionally have not had access to skilled construction jobs.

“These careers are going to be not only paychecks but health insurance, pensions, sustainable living opportunity to raise your family,” he said. “This is why this measure is so important, because now we have more people involved in this process, who were historically underrepresented.”

The final version of the bill passed the House on Nov. 13 by a vote of 82-32. The Senate concurred with the changes the following day, 36-6. The law takes effect Jan. 1.

me—if you work a day, you’ll get paid a day,” Murphy said.

His measure, proposed in January, has not been assigned to a substantive committee and cannot move through the legislative process until it does.

Murphy said he hopes “the attitude is changing” in the General Assembly to allow his initiative to receive consideration by his colleagues across the aisle when they return to the Capitol in the spring, but that he has not “seen anything to make me believe that yet.”

He added that while his bill would save “some money,” it would not be “a significant amount of money.”

“It’s more about the culture, the attitude,” Murphy said. “How are we going to perform here? Are we going to do it in an up-front, honest and commonsense way, or are we going to have special deals to question everything? To me, it’s very simple.

This is what we should do.”

His bill was one of several other reform initiatives proposed by Republicans—Murphy estimated the number to be around 30—that were not addressed by the General Assembly during the fall veto session.

Lawmakers approved two bills—one creating an ethics reform commission and another requiring greater lobbyist transparency—despite Republican claims the measures were partisan and watered down.

Chicago Democratic Rep. Gregory Harris did not respond to a request for comment by time of publication.

He is the House Majority Leader and chair of the Rules Committee, which acts as a gatekeeper for legislation that passes through that chamber.

Murphy’s proposal is House Bill 818. It has six co-sponsors, all Republicans.

Huntley indoor Bill would cut off lawmaker farmers pay the day they leave office market CAPITOL NEWS ILLINOIS

A measure preventing lawmakers from receiving pay for days they did not hold office has remained in legislative limbo since its introduction in January.

Its sponsor said the “simple, commonsense” fix is necessary to address the General Assembly’s “culture.”

Representatives and senators are paid in 12 equal disbursements on the last working day of each month.

Currently, the statute allows legislators to collect a full month’s salary as long as they hold office at least part of that period, meaning a lawmaker can receive a full month’s pay for working just one day.

Springfield Republican Rep. Mike Murphy’s bill proposes to end that “pay benefit,” he said, and conform the legislature’s salary structure to one akin to the private sector’s.

According to his legislation, “A member who has held office any part of the month, but not for the entire month, is entitled to compensation only for those days during that month that he or she held office.”

Murphy said the resignation of former Rep. Luis Arroyo, a Democrat from Chicago, highlighted the need for his initiative.

Arroyo was arrested on federal bribery charges in late October but waited until Nov. 1— the same day a special investigative panel was to consider whether to expel him from the chamber—to officially resign.

Because he held office for one day in November, Arroyo will be paid his legislative salary for the entire month when paychecks are issued Nov. 27, in accordance with state law, a spokesperson with the comptroller’s office confirmed.
