The third day of the 2017 Pro Farmer Midwest Crop Tour featured scouts sampling fields along 12 designated routes from Bloomington, Illinois Iowa City, Iowa.

Day three of the Farm Journal Crop Tour had our group running north of Bloomington IL deadheading 20 miles north to start sampling. We then moved through counties going north and then straight west where we crossed the IA border at the Quad Cities. We sampled Woodford, Marshall, Putnam, Bureau, Henry and Rock Island on the IL side of the border and picked up samples in Scott, Clinton and Cedar on the IA side.
