Recipes from IL Corn for a Week

July 13, 2022
A list of field meals for each day of the week

Although planting may be over, and harvest isn’t upon us, it’s always a good idea to get prepared for these times of complete chaos and constant rushing before they are actually happening. One integral part of any farmer’s success during these times can be attributed to the food that they get to eat while on the run - may that be in the field, tractor, combine, etc. We have compiled a list of unique meal ideas and recipes, one for every day of the week, that can easily be packaged for any farmer or farmhand on the run during these hectic times. We hope you enjoy!
