Stu Ellis has been a well-known agricultural communicator in Illinois for 50 years.  He began as the farm broadcaster at WSOY in Decatur and expanded his service to corn belt farmers through radio, television, newspapers, newsletters, and the Internet.  Listen to hear Stu's story - from growing up on the farm, attending college, and through a long, distinguished, and impactful career "helping farmers make money and stay out of jail."

Although he has reached the point in his career at which many people would consider retirement, Stu is busier than ever.  He generates ag related content for the Illinois Soybean Association, Illinois Corn Growers, and other organizations and also hosts a daily farm report on WITY radio.  You can read his weekly column in the Decatur Herald and Review.  For the last 20 years, he has published the Cornbelt Update weekly newsletter which is available through a variety of sources.  Follow Stu on Twitter: @farmgatemedia and subscribe to his YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@user-gq2ql5im8o/videos.
