The research farm south of the Urbana Champaign campus of the University of Illinois is a busy place during the summer months. Todd Gleason developed this sound portrait of the activities. It begins in the soybean plots where an agronomist is using a four-row cultivator pulled by a small John Deere tractor.
The south farms are a research and education facility operated by the University of Illinois College of Agricultural, Consumer and Environmental Sciences.
