Welcome! (Why a blog??)

Welcome to the Walter Farms blog . . .The Latest Dirt!

Walter Farms is a family owned commercial grain farm in Northern Illinois. We raise field corn and a few soybeans on a couple thousand acres of some of the best soils in the world. We are located approximately 60 miles (100km) west of Chicago right off of Interstate 88 in DeKalb. Over the course of a production year, we receive many visitors to our farm. One of the things we have been asked is if there is a way we can share what's happening on our farm with people who are interested but can't stop out and see us.

To be honest, this is an experiment for us. We are farmers first -- being a blogger is not something we are familiar with. But we are game to try if there is an interest. Periodically we will try to post some info, pictures and perhaps a few comments regarding what's going on on our farm, as well as the agricultural field in general, that we hope you will find interesting and educational.

Wish us luck . . .
