About

Cameron McClure is the owner of McClure farms in Larenceville, Il, where he raises hogs, cattle, soybeans, corn, and wheat. McClure’s experience and knowledge of the livestock industry led to him integrating crop and animal production into producing high corn and soybean yields more efficiently, resulting in state wins in the National Corn Growers Yield Contest and being recognized during the Commodity Classic. McClure’s latest endeavor includes starting his own application business, where he works with other local farmers and co-ops to apply liquid fertilizer and fungicides late in the season, using his high clearance sprayer in support of those looking to split their nitrogen applications to better match environmental conditions.
