The department of agriculture has been a staple at Illinois State University and one of the perks is the university's farm in Lexington. Farm manager Jason Lindbom says quite a few students don't have a farm background, so it offers some great hands-on experience.
Lindbom is a graduate of the ISU Department of Agriculture and has been the farm manager since 2017. The ISU farm has been around since 1914 and has been located in Lexington since 2003.
