Illinois State Horticultural Field Day
Rader Family Farms is a fourth-generation family operation rooted in nearly 80 years of agricultural heritage. Established in 1935 as Plainview Guernsey Dairy Farm, the Rader family built their livelihood on hard work, faith, and stewardship of the land. After transitioning from dairy to grain farming in 1970, the family expanded to farm approximately 2,400 acres of corn and soybeans across McLean County. What began over 20 years ago as a small pumpkin stand has since grown into a vibrant destination farm, now spanning 80 acres and featuring pumpkins, gourds, squash, and more recently, a diverse orchard with thousands of apple trees. Hear from the Rader family about their business, as they have continued to grow and evolve their amazing agritourism destination. Specialty crop industry researchers, suppliers, and industry partners will also be on site to help inform and answer questions throughout the day. Please join us for a fun and informative on-farm learning experience, to connect with growers and experts have to say about issues facing our industry going forward this season!
