Rooted in Agriculture

Farmers and agriculture form the bedrock of American life and culture, sustaining communities, economies, and traditions.

From the earliest settlers to modern times, farming has shaped the Coles County identity, providing food security, jobs, and fostering a connection to the land. Agricultural practices reflect American values of hard work, self-reliance, and innovation. Beyond sustenance, farming embodies a rich tapestry of heritage, which is celebrated in festivals, art, and literature.

Agriculture is the heartbeat of rural America and an enduring symbol of resilience. Ashmore area farmers, seed companies, and equipment dealerships carry on these traditions, driving progress while preserving the timeless essence of the American spirit.
