Harvest season is just around the corner, and according to the top leader of the Corn Growers Association, a fire in Northern Illinois this past June is going to hurt farmers all across the state.

Rodney Weinzierl, executive director of the Illinois Corn Growers Association said the Chemtool plant produced around 50% of the nation's grease for farm machinery.

To add on top of the grease shortage, the nation is facing a chip shortage that is forcing production of farming machinery to a standstill.
