Thriving Farm Community
Decatur has been awarded a spot on a very meaningful list........
THE UNCELEBRATED PLACES WHERE AMERICA'S FARM ECONOMY IS THRIVING
(Forbes Magazine)
Decatur is #2 !!
Here's what is written about us:
The other hot spot for the agriculture economy is the nation’s breadbasket. Our second-ranked agriculture hub, Decatur, Ill., grows the cash crops that built Middle America — corn and soybeans cover 80% of the area’s land. Due largely to the more mechanized nature of the area’s wet corn milling industry, and the large related industries, notably Archer Daniels Midland, the average local agribusiness worker makes $85,900 a year, almost three times the wages in Madera and other California farm areas.
How cool is that!!??!!??
Just something else about Decatur and Macon County that makes living here so great!
