Join us on Wednesday, May 21 for the "Facing the Future: Tornado Alley Shifts and Their Impact on Illinois Farming" webinar. Growing in Illinois has always been difficult, but it's getting even harder. Meteorologist David Yeomans dives into how tornado alley is shifting into our area, damaging thunderstorm wind events are happening more often, and temperatures are becoming more variable. He also analyzes new soil moisture projections for the rest of the season. Presented by CBS Chicago Meteorologist David Yeomans.
