Wheat harvest was a success at Emerick Farms! We are proud to grow wheat for Siemer Milling Company. SMC mills our wheat into flour for Duncan Hines, MCDonalds, and Girl Scout cookies. So whenever you bake a cake, eat a cookie or eat a biscuit from McDonalds east of the Mississippi, think of us!

Betsey spent three days in Chicago a couple weeks ago with her Illinois Agricultural Leadership Foundation classmates to learn about ag economics and global markets among other things. They visited the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago, Money Museum, Becker Friedman Museum, Univ of Chicago Booth School of Business, Chicago Mercantile Exchange and Chicago Board of Trade. It was a great trip and a wonderful learning experience.

It helps explain in more detail. Thanks to Blake at Historic Wagner Farm and Jill at Illinois Beef Association for helping clarify.
