Ag program takes delivery of planter

Illinois Valley Community College agriculture program co-coordinator Willard Mott eases a new 12-row planter off the truck bed. The ag program will use the Case IH 2150 Early Riser to plant soybeans this spring, Mott said. Trevor Stanhope, Case IH planter engineer, facilitated IVCC’s use of the implement. Construction of the program’s storage and routine maintenance building was occurring nearby at the future ag complex.
