SUMMARY:History of Farming on the I&M Canal
DESCRIPTION:The evolution of nineteenth-century agriculture in northern Illinois.\nThe first wave of settlers transplanted the time-honored extensive agricultural methodologies to the Midwest. But with a market-oriented base of farmers migrating to the northern counties from other northern states\, this antiquated methodology was replaced with intensive agriculture which set the stage for commercial and monocultural agricultural processes.  Find out what these various farming methodologies are and how they transformed the lives of farmers throughout northern Illinois. \n  \n\nPlease register by calling 815-220-1848\, extensions 1 or 2 or at the I&M Canal Visitors Center ~ Lock 16 Café.  \nOr\, online https://trytn.com/en/CanalCorridorAssociation/details/90f9cc8c-d434-421d-9238-105c1a5a4625?typeofproduct=activity
