Agriculture
Agriculture
has a significant influence on the economy of
Champaign County. As one of the state’s top
counties for the output of both soybeans and
corn, it’s no surprise that Champaign County is
home to over 1,371 farms and over 567,679 acres
of cropland. In addition to the revenue
generated from the sale of these commodities,
agricultural income dollars flow into the
county’s economy through numerous ag-related
businesses and industries including farm
machinery sales and service, agricultural real
estate, seed and crop production supply sales as
well as grain processing plants.
Those who live,
work or play in Champaign County don’t have to
look far to see the benefits that agriculture
brings to our community.

agriculture in Champaign County.
