The Midwest is synonymous with acres of
farmland, bountiful harvests, and diverse
histories of agricultural practices and
innovations, and Urbana, Illinois, is no
exception. Located in the East Central region
of the state, Urbana and its twin city
Champaign hold a population of over 127,000
residents. Home to Illinois’ flagship land grant
college, the University of Illinois, the
Urbana-Champaign community has a wealth
of academic, community, and agricultural
resources that benefit the steadily growing
community.
