WILLAg.org is home to University of Illinois Extension radio programming produced in cooperation with Illinois Public Media. It includes daily radio programming from the  8:55am Opening Market Report to the Commodity Market Summary at 4:32pm. These all air on WILL AM580 which can be tuned in across much of the states of Illinois and Indiana. The website, willag.org, hosts much of the programming, too. It also includes a combined Illinois Extension farm news feed from the crop scientists, ag economists, and animal scientists on campus and in the field.
