In this month's update on the dayneutral strawberry research in Northern Illinois, Grant McCarty, Local Foods and Small Farms Educator for University of Illinois, discusses how yields are looking and some of the challenges he is still noticing in the research.

This research is funded by a USDA Specialty Crops Block Grant.

The University of Illinois Extension Local Foods and Small Farms YouTube channel provides educational content from Extension Educators and researchers engaged in fruit and vegetable production, livestock, alternative agriculture systems, urban agriculture, food systems, and other topics. Extension educators throughout Illinois provide resources, expert assistance, and support for members of the local food system communities in which they live.
