Farmland values in the Seventh Federal Reserve District are slowing down from double-digit increases of the last couple years to single-digit annual percentage increases.

A new solar energy system is expected to provide both economic and environmental benefits at AGCO’s facility in Assumption, generating approximately 20% of its power requirements.

Work is set to begin within weeks on a solar farm at the site of a former General Motors Foundry in western Illinois site that closed in the 1990s.
