DEKALB, Ill. (AP) — Severe weather will be a topic at this year’s Northern Illinois Farm Show in DeKalb.
The show starts Wednesday at Northern Illinois University’s Convocation Center. About 8,000 people attended last year.
The (DeKalb) Daily Chronicle reports that one of the sessions will focus on the deadly tornado that struck Fairdale. The April 9 tornado killed two women and caused $7.9 million in damages to dozens of properties in the unincorporated community of about 150 people. It affected Boone, DeKalb, Lee and Ogle counties.
The show also will feature discussions on issues like grain marketing, pesticide application and weed management.
