The DuPage County Farm Bureau Annual Member-

ship Dinner will not be held this year due to the current pandemic. This was a very difficult decision, but ulti-mately the health and safety of our members and staff is our number one priority. The Phase 4 guidelines set in place do not allow gatherings of over 50 people and we are unsure if that will change by the planned date of Sep-tember 9th. The Membership Dinner and Silent Auction is our biggest fundraiser for our Foundation. With this event cancelled we will be working hard to come up with a new way our members can help support our Foun-dation. The DuPage County Farm Bureau Foundation was established by the DuPage

County Farm Bureau to carry the Heritage of DuPage County Agriculture into the future. Within the families of this greater community of people, lie the promises of to-

morrow’s agricultural industry and those who will make today’s dreams the realities of tomorrow.

As a not-for-profit entity, the DuPage County Farm Bureau Foun-

dation solicits and distrib-utes private funding for agriculturally-related educa-tion and leadership train-ing, Ag-In-The-Classroom programs, public library collection development, and charitable activities. This year we were able to award 10 scholarships totaling $16,000. Our Foundation has also awarded teacher, library and 4-H grants of over

Ag in the Classroom is a free program that visits DuPage schools to teach the importance of ag-riculture. The lessons can be adjusted for all age levels and meet learning standards. We would

also be happy to be a part of community events that relate to our agricultural literacy program vision and goals.

For more information contact: dupageaitc@dcfb.org or 630-668-8161.

June Numbers:Due to COVID-19

all June presentations

were cancelledTotal students

reached to date: 29,083 students

Teacher Quote about an AITC Visit:“Our team generally uses the Ag in

the Class lessons to help facilitate our writing lessons. The use of the Ag Mag for text-based evidence is wonderful.

Likewise, the magazine and take-away activity allow our students to share

their learning with others at home.”

– Stone School, 3rd grade

It’s starting to feel a bit more like normal around here! With Illinois moving into Phase 4 at the beginning of July, AITC began receiving requests for visits to local summer camps. We also hosted our first virtual presentation with the Roselle Library, where participants learned all about apples. Our Ag in a Bag program has also been a huge success with 1,290 bags ordered by 9 DuPage libraries! The AITC team has been busy attending weekly virtual workshops from Illinois AITC and the National AITC confer-ence. We have so many new and exciting ideas for the next school year!

1. Kristina hosted a Zoom presentation about apples with the Roselle Library.

2.Campers at the West Chicago Park District

enjoyed making beanie babies and learning about soybeans.

Teacher Spotlight: Ashley EntileOur team visits classrooms

throughout DuPage County. Let’s meet some of the amazing teachers that utilize our program!

Ashley Entile grew up on a farm and was an avid 4-H member in Kane County. When she began teaching in the suburbs, Ashley noticed a lack of agriculture awareness in her students. In 2017 she created the 3rd grade Agricul-ture Club for her students at Manning Elementary in West-mont and began utilizing the DuPage Ag in the Classroom program. “I believe in the importance of unified education and relationships between community organizations and my school” says Ashley. “Involvement of the Farm Bureau not only supports farmers’ work, but it brings an awareness to the students and teachers of the vast network of com-munity members involved in agriculture that work hard in improving their quality of life. No farms, no food!”

Ashley’s club enjoys a range of presentation topics throughout the year with our educator Marilyn DeVries, but their favorite topic is the dairy lesson! The students can eas-ily relate to dairy as they all eat it. They are amazed by the technology that dairy farmers use during the milking pro-cess, and love making the homemade butter. Some students even save some butter and a cracker to take home for their parents! “The most valuable thing Ag in the Classroom brings is experienced knowledge about agriculture” says Ashely. “Despite my background in Ag, Mrs. DeVries even continues to teach me new things. There are a lot of misconceptions about farming and farmers due to lack of exposure and Ag in the Classroom teaches both students and teachers.”

During the school year, Ashley works as a K-5 EL Special-ist and encourages other teachers to incorporate agricul-ture into their curriculum. She keeps agriculture items in her classroom that are used for hands-on experiences and even has a hallway display of agriculture books that students can check out in the library. She recently received a grant for a chicken coop so that her students can hatch chicks and watch them grow! Her students also enjoy attending the Ag in the Classroom Ag Expo each winter. Ashley is a great agriculture advocate for her school!

Ag in a Bag“Ag Bags” are still available to

DuPage libraries, camps, and daycares this summer! They are available for the following topics: Corn, Dairy, Pizza, Pol-linators, and Soybeans. Each individual bag includes an Ag Mag, small project, wordsearch, and intro page with instruc-tions. The best part? They are FREE! If your institution is interested in receiving a set of Ag Bags, please contact Kristina at dupageaitc@dcfb.org.

Easy Homemade Peach Jam Recipe (no pectin)

Summer is in full swing! Are you looking for an easy Peach Jam Recipe for all your amazing summer peaches? If so, there’s not a better recipe than this tried and true, no pectin, Peach Jam Recipe. Ingredients3 1/2 pounds peaches (1 lb = 3 to 4 medium peaches), peeled, pitted, and cut into chunks2 1/2 cups sugar (remember, you can start with less sugar and add more if needed, but don’t add too little or your jam won’t gel.)Juice from one lemon (Lemon juice is naturally high in pec-tin and will help the jam set.)Instructions1. Add peaches and lemon juice to medium saucepan.

Bring to boil over med-high heat, using a spatula or masher to crush peaches to desired consistency.

2. Reduce heat to medium. Add sugar. Bring peaches back to a boil, stirring frequently.

3. Continue to boil and stir, until peaches reduce and reach desired consistency. (Anywhere from 15 to 25 minutes – jam should stick to spoon when lifted and turned sideways.)

4. Let the peach preserves cool, if you find the jam is not at the consistency you desire, you can bring the peaches back to boiling for about 10 minutes and then let it cool again.

Fishy Green Organic Farm, established in March of 2019, is a family owned and operated Aquaponic farm in the western suburbs. It was soon after college that Ashley Keller, who co-owns the business with her brother Mike, started to realize the importance of purchasing local produce. “After some research and meeting with local farmers, I learned a lot about the importance of sustainability, not only in our everyday life, but in agriculture. When my oldest brother Mike started growing produce hydro-ponically, we discussed the possibility of starting our own farm, where we would attempt to grow everything aquaponically,” says Ashley. The lack of aquaponic farms in this area to learn from or gain experience made this venture challenging. How-ever, through trial and error, Mike successfully developed and built the entire system on his own. Ashley’s sister-in-law, Kristine, handles the planting and harvesting.

Specializing mostly in greens such as romaine, kale, arugula and butter

lettuce, the growing process starts with non-GMO seeds. Once the seeds are placed in the system they remain untouched. Nothing comes into contact with the plants but the water in the tanks. “With aquaponics, instead of having to add nutrients to the plants, everything comes from the fish matter in the water. At harvest time, we take many sanitary mea-sures including harvesting in single use gloves and pack-aging in a sanitary space. Knowing that we are provid-ing the healthiest produce possible for our very own neighbors,” is the most satis-fying part of their business, Ashley says. “We hear from so many people about how our freshness is unmatched. Our lettuce can last a month in your refrigerator!”

Aquaponic farming is also environmentally friendly. They typically only use 30 gallons of water each week which will yield around 1,000 plants. This soilless process uses less land and labor than traditional ag-riculture, which makes it a great choice for urban farm-ing. As sustainable farming

practices become everyday discussions, there are hopes that in the future there will be more aquaponic farms like Fishy Green. Ashley says, “Within ten years, it will hopefully be easier for peo-ple to find locally sourced produce all year round.”

Fishy Green Organic farm is expanding into a 7,000 square foot barn this sum-mer! You can visit them

at local farmers markets or reach out to get fresh greens. If you are a restau-rant or shop owner looking for samples, or have a group interested in touring their barn, please reach out to Ashley at sales@fishy greenorganic.com. You can also visit their website at www.fishygreenorganic.com/ or follow them on Facebook.

“With aquaponics, instead of having to add nutrients to the plants, everything comes from the fish matter in the

water. At harvest time, we take many sanitary measures...”

Remote learning. E-learn-ing. Zoom sessions. Since

the COVID-19 pandemic caused the school routine to change, we have heard nu-merous names for adaptive styles of lesson delivery for our students. Some students successfully embraced the new scenario, and some stu-dents – and parents – found the new learning styles chal-lenging.

During this time about 266 students in DuPage County have taken the opportunity for individual learning via hands-on 4-H projects. What is 4-H? It is a nationwide youth de-velopment program. It is sponsored here in Illinois by the Cooperative Extension Service of the University of Illinois. Students ages 8 to 18 are organized in clubs of six or more members with an adult leader. There are currently 15 clubs in DuPage

County. The 4-H students have approximately 80 different projects to select from. Some of the more popular projects selected by the participants are typically photography, woodworking, food preparation, garden-ing, animal care, sewing, electronics, and model rocket assembly. In a “typi-cal” year the projects would come to completion at the 4-H fair in conjunction with the DuPage County Fair in July. This year, as we well know, the DuPage County Fair has been cancelled. The completion of 4-H projects and subsequent judging are being done virtually. The 4-H student, club leaders, and Extension personnel have risen to the challenge. The 4-H experience and memo-ries of this year are still be-ing developed.

What are examples of the lasting benefits and memo-ries for the 4-H participants? I asked some DuPage County 4-H club alumni and “re-tired” leaders about what lasting vivid memories they have of their 4-H experienc-

es. These are some of their common responses:• Projects were enjoyable

and allowed for creativity.• Projects gave “equal op-

portunity” for boys and girls.

• Animal projects helped develop responsibility, re-spect and love for animals.

• Rocket launches were awesome! They gave me a huge sense of accomplish-ment.

• The food and sewing projects were the building blocks of life skills now being used on a regular basis.

• Photography projects taught me skills for a life-long hobby.

• Personal relationships developed over all age groups and cultural back-grounds.

• Public speaking experienc-es created skills and confi-dence that are essential in our chosen careers.

• Developing leadership skills was an immediate response from all of the persons interviewed.The careers of the 4-H

alumni interviewed included several teachers, business entrepreneurs, business managers, a food caterer, an executive municipal manag-er, a doctor, and an attorney.

From the club leaders per-spective, a common response was the enjoyment and sat-isfaction of seeing students grow during their 4-H years. “They bloom with self-confi-dence and good self-esteem. They are risk-takers, curious, innovative, and creative. They follow a task to comple-tion with high quality work and meet deadlines. Speak-ing from a personal perspec-tive, being a 4-H leader was a rewarding extension of my teaching career.”

4-H is what each indi-vidual wants it to be. In these chaotic times, 4-H projects and experiences can be an enrichment and stabilizing component for young people. Do you know a 4-Her? Do you want to be a volunteer as a club leader? For more information, check out the web site for DuPage County 4-H.

Women’s Corner

Corn Engrained in Lifestyle

We named our puppy Maizey, playing on the corn phrase “maize.” The name seemed fitting for a yellow-colored Labrador and a tribute to the crop at the root of our livelihoods. We also thought the name was unique until we learned the farmer two miles south calls his dog the same.

Farmers throughout Il-linois share a connection to

corn. We grow it, talk about it, and drive around just to look at it. We monitor its stages of development, the rain it receives, and its health in our own fields, as well as around the county, state, and Midwest. We invest in the technology to plant it at consistent depths and precise distances to resemble picket fences at emergence. Tech-driven applications of fertilizer and herbicides help achieve the overall industry goal of more grain with less environmental impact. By mid-summer, farmers marvel at tassels and worry when forecasted storms with high winds could topple the crop under their care before har-vesting it.

Corn helps pay the bills for Illinois’ more than 72,000

farms, most of which grow field corn, a grain used for food, feed, and fuel. The Illinois Corn Growers Asso-ciation reports that the crop adds $17.5 billion annually to the state’s economy. Il-linois’ top crop also impacts every American who buys fuel, eats food, or uses everyday items that contain corn, like batteries, tooth-paste, and diapers.

Our household enjoys all types of corn, which includes eating popcorn and sweet corn, planted in time to harvest for my husband’s August birthday. Even be-yond the growing season, corn maintains a presence in our home. At Christmas, I decorate a farm-themed tree with a string of corn lights. A space atop our kitchen

cabinets holds ears of corn for display, and the custom-made handrails that flank our porch steps feature steel silhouettes of young corn plants. The blacksmith even added ears of corn at the mounting plates.

Our daughter last fall made some extra income weighing trucks of corn during harvest at the family grain storage facility. For a computer science class last year, our son illustrated a combine harvesting corn for his animated transition slides. We’re a little crazy about corn, and Maizey pro-vides some evidence.

has grown in popularity, solar panels are now more accessible and affordable for homeowners. Energy & Environmental Stewardship Educator Erin Garrett will cover the basics of solar energy including what makes a home suit-able for solar pan-els and options for homeowners.

September 10, Watershed Plan-ning: Everyone who lives in Illinois has a stake in protect-ing its waterways. Extension Watershed Outreach Associ-ates Haley Haverback-Gru-ber and Jennifer Jones will cover how watershed-based planning in Illinois uses a collaborative, grassroots approach to improve and protect the state’s water resources. Learn how Illinois conservationists work with communities on a local level to preserve their natural resources.

October 8, Composting Do’s and Don’ts: Composting isn’t complicated, but fol-lowing a few basic rules will

help turn your pile of kitch-en scraps and garden waste into a nutrient-rich organic material. Join Energy and Environmental Stewardship

Educator Duane Friend to discuss the composting process, what goes into a compost pile and what should be left out, as well as basic management of air, moisture and temperature.

November 12, Vermi-Com-posting: Odorless and indoor friendly, vermi-composting is one of the easiest ways to compost at home. Join Energy and Environmental Stewardship Educator Peggy Doty to learn how to harness the power of worms to turn leftovers into soil.

December 10, All About Squirrels: Squirrels are a staple of backyards, college

campuses, and, of course, forests, but how much do you really know about these mischievous rodent neigh-bors? Energy and Environ-

mental Stewardship Educator Abigail Ga-rofalo will delve into the ecology and life of squirrels to better understand one of the most commonly encountered wild animals in Illinois.

For more informa-tion, contact webinar coordi-nator Erin Garrett at emedvecz@illinois.edu.

If you need a reason-able accommodation to participate in any of these programs, please contact Garrett. Early requests are strongly encouraged to al-low sufficient time for meet-ing access needs.

Field Corn. Sweet Corn.

Popcorn. What’s the difference?In Illinois, 60% of our

land is farmland. Farmland is what you might pass on your way to school, work, or even the grocery store. Often, it can be found occupied with grazing cattle or growing crops like corn. Illinois ranks #2 in the nation in corn production. However, it’s important to recognize that we need different types to serve different purposes.
