Illini Center

The Illini Center welcomes The Chicago Farmers and speaker Dr. Gary Schnitkey, Soybean Industry Endowed Chair in Agricultural Strategy within the Department of Agricultural and Consumer Economics, University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. Schnitkey will discuss Farmland Returns and Prices in the "New Normal”: After high prices in 2021 and 2022, commodity prices appear to be approaching lower, more historical levels.

Schnitkey will share his views.
