🎣 Did you know we offer electrofishing surveys for your lake or pond? 🐟

We can have Herman Brothers Fisheries come out to your lake or pond and conduct an electrofishing survey to help assess your fish population!

Today, Tracy, our AC, had Herman Brothers Fisheries out at her lake, along with her neighbors. It was such a fun and interesting experience! We can’t wait to receive the report and see what they found. 🐟📋

If you’re interested in learning more about having an electrofishing survey done on your lake or pond, reach out to our office at 309-286-2261 ext. 3.

📞 Give us a call—we’d be happy to help!

There’s one thing around harvest time that NEVER changes like the weather — safety first.

It only takes seconds for a life-changing moment or accident.

Whether in the field, driving equipment, traveling in rural areas, or working around grain bins, take extra precautions this season and every day.

With rising numbers of accidents, safety officials and researchers at the University of Illinois College of ACES and Extension continue to raise awareness and provide reminders to build safety into daily routines.

PSA: For everyone in and out of agriculture, remember to check in on the farmers around you, leave extra time and space when traveling, practice patience, clean out equipment, and stay up on environmental conditions like drought and burn bans.
