Article Summary
- Family farm bankruptcies surged 46% nationwide in 2025. In the Midwest, filings jumped 70%. In Illinois, they rose 55%.
- Total farm debt is forecast to hit a record $624.7 billion in 2026, as overhead costs like land rent and interest keep climbing.
- Farmers bought a record 2.54 million crop insurance policies in 2025. But when the guaranteed revenue floor falls below production costs, farmers lose money on every bushel.
This summary was written by the reporters and editors who worked on this story.
SPRINGFIELD — With the growing season well underway in Illinois, farmers once again are struggling to turn an abundant harvest into survival.
In 2025, family farm bankruptcies surged 46% nationwide — reaching 315 filings and marking the third consecutive year of increases. The Midwest recorded 121 filings in 2025 — up 70% from the prior year.
The trend has only accelerated. In April alone this year, 62 Chapter 12 farm bankruptcies were filed nationwide – a 130% jump from the prior year and the highest monthly total since February 2020. The USDA projects total farm debt will rise 5.2% to a record $624.7 billion in 2026, with 330 bankruptcy cases filed.
“I’m scared about there being a real farm crisis,” said Eliot Clay, executive director of the Association of Illinois Soil and Water Conservation Districts. “This could come down to people being able to save their farms – just knowing that they could put it into some conservation easement or something. Like, they need anything that they can get.”
For Illinois, the crisis is playing out as lawmakers just finished a budget session that delivered few meaningful results for an industry under siege. Gary Asay, who has farmed in Illinois since 1976 and sold crop insurance for more than 20 years, sees clear reasons to worry.
“The increase in the number of bankruptcies and the increased buying of higher-level crop insurance are both signs of the stress that’s in the industry,” Asay said. “Farmers are under stress. They may be having to borrow more money. Therefore, they want more protection.”
Crop insurance, he pointed out, can’t fully protect farmers from losses. The most common policy, Revenue Protection, covers only up to 85% of projected revenue.
“Even with the best crop insurance coverage you can buy, if that coverage is below your cost of production, you can still lose money without even collecting,” Asay said.
In 2025, U.S. soybean production totaled 4.26 billion bushels, with the average yield per acre estimated at a record high 53.0 bushels per acre. Illinois alone harvested more than 639 million bushels in 2025.
Then, in February 2025, the U.S. imposed a 10% tariff on Chinese products. And China – once the world’s largest buyer of U.S. soybeans – stopped purchasing U.S. crops. Last September marked the first month since 2018 that imports from the U.S. fell to zero, according to China’s General Administration of Customs.
Farmers had entered the 2025 season with a smaller safety net after the projected price for the crop insurance guarantees fell by 8.7% that year. The drop meant less protection heading into the spring planting. But because yields were high, most farms still generated revenue above their guaranteed floor. Although farmers grew plenty, they sold every bushel for less than it cost to produce.
“A lot of farmers cannot sell their corn or soybeans at a profit right now, just because the price is so low,” Asay said.
Bankruptcies in agriculture rarely follow a single bad year. For U.S. farmers, the financial squeeze began well before 2025.
Real estate debt – tied to the land farmers rent or own – is expected to reach $404.3 billion in 2026, a reflection of the high cost of farmland that has squeezed so many operators.
“Overhead costs represent the largest cost component on the U.S. farm, accounting for nearly one-half of total costs during the 2020-24 period,” said Joana Colussi, a research assistant professor of agricultural economics at Purdue University, citing Purdue data. “Eighty percent of the farmers in the Midwest, they rent the land.”
Colussi has tracked the financial squeeze on farmers across the Midwest. When land prices rise, so does the rent – a fixed cost that farmers pay regardless of crop prices or yields. That leaves farmers searching for ways to keep operations going. “The way to continue being competitive is to try to reduce the costs,” she said.
Diversification into niche markets — non-GMO (genetically modified organism), organic or specialty crops — offers one path forward, though Colussi mentioned it’s not a quick fix
Farm crisis reminiscent of the 1980s.
Rep. Charlie Meier, R-Okawville, who is a farmer himself, described the current moment as reminiscent of the 1980s farm crisis. “There were massive bankruptcies in the ‘80s,” Meier said. “A lot, a lot of farms went under.”
The trigger now and then is the unstable export market. But the financial strain was already visible. In 2025, the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago reported that 5.6% of farm loans were classified as having “major” or “severe” repayment problems — the highest since 2020. That means borrowers were falling behind on payments or reworking their loans. It’s an indicator that many farmers were struggling to repay old debt while borrowing more to plant the next crop.
Ahead of the 2026 legislative session, farm groups pushed for estate tax relief, one of the Illinois Farm Bureau’s top priorities, along with payouts for farmers to protect their land and programs that help them find new buyers for their crops. But in a tight budget year, those priorities stalled.
The Illinois Farm Bureau did not secure passage of the Family Farm Preservation Act, which would have raised the state’s estate tax exemption from $4 million to $6 million, reducing the tax burden on inherited farms and making it easier for young farmers to keep the land and operations intact.
State Rep. Sharon Chung, D-Bloomington, who serves on the House Agriculture Committee, was also unable to get a relatively small boost for farmers through this session.
She pushed for a $10 million increase in funding for Soil and Water Conservation Districts through House Bill 4755. But the final Fiscal Year 2027 budget held funding at $4.5 million for the third straight year, far short of what advocates say districts need. These districts are trusted by local farmers because they work alongside them, offering advice on how to farm more efficiently at a lower cost.
Clay, the district’s executive director, said the biggest need is giving districts “the financial certainty that they can hire and keep people hired.”
Without that, districts see constant turnover. That means farmers lose access to experienced local advisors who understand their land and can help them navigate conservation practices that might save money and keep them afloat.
“Agriculture is the No. 1 producer for our economy in Illinois,” Chung said. “Anything we can do to help prop that up is so important.”
Despite those unpassed bills, farmers did secure a few victories. The final budget included changes to the Farmland Assessment Law — extending a tax break for conservation practices through 2031 — and avoided cuts to key programs, including the Illinois Department of Agriculture, agricultural education and cover-crop incentives that enrich the soil.
While farmers had hoped Springfield could do more, they also recognized that forces shaping the industry go far beyond the influence of legislators: falling crop prices, an unstable export market and rising costs.
As farmers face mounting distress, the history of the 1980s hangs over the heartland.
“There’s just not enough room for error right now. Something that happened in the past can take down a farmer today,” Asay said.

Fleeing driver hits officer, leads Bolingbrook police on chase before crashing into another car
BOLINGBROOK, Ill. (WLS) — A fleeing driver struck an officer before leading police on a south suburban chase that ended in a crash on Friday night, police said.
Bolingbrook police said it all started around 8:15 p.m. when officers approached a vehicle to arrest two people inside of it in the 1000-block of South Weber Road.

Police said that’s when the vehicle’s driver turned toward an officer, accelerated, and struck the officer before fleeing the scene.
Officers chased the vehicle into Plainfield, where the vehicle struck another car near the intersection of West Main and Illinois streets, police said.
The two suspects were arrested and transported to a local hospital. Charges were not immediately announced.
The officer who they hit suffered non-life-threatening injuries and was treated at a local hospital.
Paramedics treated the woman who was driving the other car on the scene.
Authorities did not immediately provide further information.

Illinois
Tucked Between Rockford And Chicago Is An Under-The-Radar Park With Trails And Ethereal Beauty – Islands
The northeastern quadrant of Illinois is one of the most urbanized corners of America. Chicagoland sprawls across the state from the shores of Lake Michigan, and around 60 miles to the west sits Rockford, another of Illinois’ largest cities. But that’s not to say the region is devoid of nature. Coral Woods Conservation Area, a lovely stretch of woodland and hiking trails nestled between the two major cities, is proof.
The woodland has a cozy aesthetic; it’s the kind of place you’d expect anthropomorphic animals to go on adventures in a children’s picture book. But it’s also a significant location for oak tree conservation. Coral Woods is populated by red and white oaks and is one of the largest groves of continuous oak woodland in the county — though it also has a sugar maple grove with trees as ancient as 100 years old. Aside from being pretty to look at, especially in fall, the trees provide a habitat for a diverse array of birds, and in the spring, the underbrush is vibrant with wildflowers.
The best way to experience the park is along its gentle hiking trails. The three marked, interlocking trails in the woodland are quite short, but you can combine them to increase your step count — you may also include pit stops for a picnic or birdwatching. Many hiker reviews also mention how quiet the trail is, with one reviewer describing it as a hidden gem. However you decide to approach Coral Woods, it’s a great rural escape from the bustle of Chicago, and it will surely appeal to nature lovers visiting Rockford, Illinois’ City of Gardens.
Exploring the Coral Woods trails
As mentioned, there are three trails carving through the woodland, all starting from the parking lot. One is a nature trail that loops through the oaks for 1.2 miles and briefly skirts the edge of a pond. Another trail, also 1.2 miles, passes through the oak woodland and traverses a prairie-grass meadow. This trail turns into a cross-country ski trail in winter. There’s also a short 0.4-mile trail looping the old sugar maple grove (you’ll find a picnic area here). A longer, 1.9-mile route is marked out on AllTrails, which basically circumnavigates the area.
There are plenty of things to keep a lookout for when walking through Coral Woods. The oaks, sugar maples, and hickories in the park all shed their leaves in autumn, painting the conservation area in fiery hues. Hikers are particularly taken by Coral Woods when the leaves are changing color, recommending it as the best time to visit. Mid-October is usually peak fall foliage season in this part of Illinois, but if you want to time your visit perfectly, consult the best fall foliage resources, including GPS apps and weather websites.
Spring is a great time to walk the trails, too, when wildflowers with eccentric names — sharp-lobed hepatica, Jack-in-the-pulpit, toothwort, bloodroot, and blue phlox — bloom throughout the woodland. Aside from nominal intrigue, it’s a quite beautiful range of flora. Jack-in-the-pulpits are curling and lizard-like; the phlox are bluish and fragrant; and the hepaticas have sharp, white-marbled petals. Flitting between the oaks and the wildflowers, you might spot warblers, woodpeckers, finches, jays, robins, and bluebirds, among other avian species. Park authorities are trying to entice more bluebirds into the region with nesting boxes along the edge of the prairie.
Getting to Coral Woods
Given that it’s sandwiched between two of Illinois’ major urban centers, Coral Woods is super accessible. It’s about a 75-minute drive from downtown Chicago. If you’re coming from O’Hare, America’s most connected airport, you’ll skip the downtown traffic and shorten your journey to about 45 minutes. Rockford is also about 45 minutes by car from Coral Woods.
Coral Woods is open daily from sunrise to sunset, though there’s a possibility it can close for a short period in early spring or late fall when the conservation district carries out controlled burns to help maintain the ecosystem. See the McHenry County controlled burn map for up-to-date info. If you want to use the sheltered picnic area, it’s best to reserve a table, especially on weekends during fall foliage season. You’ll find restrooms and an info board, marking out the hiking trails and sharing information on the park’s history and wildlife, by the parking lot.
