Welcome, trapper53! Glad you've joined in with us. Congrats on the move home and the farm purchase! What an exciting time it must be for your family! And thanks for serving our country - your efforts are genuinely appreciated here!

Hang on for some input on your questions. In the meantime, give us an idea of what your goals are and that will really help the experts here to give you meaningful responses. BTW, there are lots of great and knowledgeable folks here on the forum who live in IL, so you'll get plenty of input from people who have lots of local knowledge.

Again, welcome!
