do we have any Illinois natives here? #farming

It's a beautiful day in northern Illinois. Well, here's a typical Illinois farmer. One of the men our armed forces and we at home depend upon for food. And boy oh boy, is he busy. His machinery scarce. His gasoline is rationed. The tires on his truck are wearing down. His hired man's working in a defense plant. His son is on a fighting front 2,000 m away. Well, it's time for chores. It's always time for something these days when armies and fleets demand that every American farm produce to its utmost. So, let's look around and see what's going on.
