• Curt and his wife, Sue, farm near Washington, where they raise 1,700 acres of corn, soybeans and wheat, and run a 140-head farrow-to-finish purebred Duroc operation, selling branded meat and genetics. Judges for the awards were Karen Corrigan, McGillicuddy Corrigan Agronomics; Ed McMillan, former University of Illinois board of trustees; Linnea Kooistra, 2011 Master Farmer; Dwight Raab, First Midwest Bank agribusiness vice president; Steve Carson, Farm Credit Illinois executive vice president; and Holly Spangler, Prairie Farmer editor. [...]all serve their communities — building churches, chairing little-known but important committees, organizing harvest for a stricken neighbor — and continue the service-minded commitment that earned them the Master Farmer distinction in the first place.
